The 'Therigatha' in Buddhist literature is related to which of the following bodies?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The Therigatha, a collection of verses by the early Buddhist nuns (theris), belongs to the Khuddaka Nikaya, the fifth and last collection of the Sutta Pitaka in the Pali Canon. Its companion text, the Theragatha of the elder monks, is in the same Nikaya.
The Majjhima, Samyutta and Anguttara Nikayas contain discourses of the Buddha rather than these collections of verses.
