List of Suttas Renumbered
to Match the Pali Text Society

Read about sutta reference numbers

The sutta translations on this website were provided by several different translators, not all of whom used the same edition of the Tipitaka as their Pali source. Some editions enumerate the suttas slightly differently, which can often lead to confusion (for example, the Kalama Sutta is AN III.65 in the PTS edition, but AN III.66 in the Thai). In May 2002 I decided to adopt the PTS as the common reference point for sutta numbers; henceforth all suttas from the Anguttara Nikaya on Access to Insight will be numbered following the PTS system. To implement this change I renumbered approximately thirty suttas, as summarized in the table below.
