(Auto-Translation): The Mahanidana Sutta. (The revered Thariputta of the Anguttara Nikaya speaks extensively on this sutta. It is part of the Pali texts and is included in the Sutta Pitaka. It is the 7th sutta in the 11th book of the Khuddaka Nikaya.)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
