About the Book:
This volume presents the English translation of verses from the Sagatha Vagga, a key section of the Samyutta Nikaya, one of the most important collections in the Pali Canon. Translated by U Tin U, this work brings to light the spiritual dialogues and philosophical discourses originally found in the ancient Buddhist scriptures.

The book is divided into five groups of suttas:

• Devata Samyutta – Discourses involving various unnamed devas (celestial beings)

• Devaputta Samyutta – Dialogues with prominent divine sons

• Kosala Samyutta – Conversations with King Pasenadi of Kosala

• Mara Samyutta – Teachings involving Mara, the personification of delusion and death

• Bhikkhuni Samyutta – Discourses concerning Buddhist nuns and their spiritual insights

Carefully edited and prepared by the Myanmar Pitaka Association (now part of the Department for the Promotion and Propagation of the Sasana), this English edition ensures authenticity and clarity. Although its publication was delayed due to the Committee’s extensive focus on editing the Dhammasangani, this volume marks a significant step in making complete English translations of the Buddhist scriptures more widely accessible.

Ideal for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in early Buddhist teachings, this book offers a rare and valuable insight into the wisdom and moral clarity of the original Pali texts.
