# Āgama Section

The Āgama Section (pinyin: Āhán Bù; Japanese: Agon Bu) is a division of the Taishō Tripiṭaka that contains sūtras related to the Āgamas, roughly corresponding to the texts of the Sutta Piṭaka of the Pāli Canon. It corresponds to the first two volumes of the Taishō Tripiṭaka and corresponds to text numbers 1–151. Notable collections within this section include the Dīrghāgama (長阿含經; T1), Madhyamāgama (中阿含經; T26), Saṃyuktāgama (雜阿含經; T99), and the Ekottarāgama (增壹阿含經; T125), while the section also includes individual sūtras that were translated separately from these collections, but which contain parallels therein, such as the Dharmacakrapravartana Sūtra (佛說轉法輪經; T109).

Yinshun's suggested reordering sees it divided into 8 vargas with 51 sections. | Anālayo, et al., A Translation of Saṃyukta-āgama Discourses (selected sūtras). Charles Patton, The Related Discourses (selected sūtras). | A collection of Sarvāstivāda origin which includes texts touching on all topics of Buddhist doctrine organised by category. Due to two missing fascicles, starting in China, a two fascicle translation of the Aśokāvadāna by Guṇabhadra has been interpolated, which did not belong to the Indic original of the collection. Yinshun proposed a revised order, based upon details given in the Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra. Yinshun, moreover, suggests that the Saṃyuktāgama is the first collection of Buddhist sūtras, with a diachronic classification into sūtra, geya, and vyākaraṇa (the start of a ninefold classification of buddhavācana). It is a rough equivalent of the Pāli Saṃyutta Nikāya and T100 is an later, shorter, compilation. |

This is a shorter collection of Saṃyuktāgama texts from another recension than T99. A rough equivalent of the Pāli Saṃyutta Nikāya. |

Equivalent to the Pāli Khaḷuṅka Sutta (AN8.14). Parallels in the Saṃyuktāgama's "Inclination for Wrongdoing" (T99(33.6); 有過) and the Alternative Translation of the Saṁyukatāgama's (T100) sutta 8.18. |
