Theragāthā
Text쿳다카니카야의 여덟 번째 경전으로, 대부분 부처님 생존 시대 장로들의 작품으로 여겨지는 게송 모음집이며, 그들의 생애를 이야기하고 해탈의 기쁨을 표현한다. 후에 영역본은 『장로의 시편』으로 알려졌다.
The eighth book of the Khuddakanikāya, a collection of poems, most of which are believed to have been composed by elders during the lifetime of the Buddha.
Some poems contain life-histories of the elders, while others are paeans of joy, extolling their new-found freedom.
The work has been published by the P.T.S. (1883) and translated by Mrs. Rhys Davids, as Psalms of the Brethren.
Dhammapāla wrote a commentary on the Theragāthā, as part of the Paramatthadīpanī.
