Overview
Translator Bhikkhu Bodhi wrote: "In Aṅguttara Nikāya, persons are as a rule not reduced to mere collections of aggregates, elements, and sense-bases, but are treated as real centers of living experience engaged in a heartfelt quest for happiness and freedom from suffering."
Parallel
The Aṅguttara Nikāya corresponds to the Ekottara Āgama ("Increased by One Discourses") found in the Sūtra Piṭakas of various Sanskritic early Buddhists schools, fragments of which survive in Sanskrit. A nearly complete version of the Saṃyukta Āgama survives in Chinese translation by the name Zēngyī Ahánjīng (增一阿含經); based on an Indic original of Mūlasarvāstivāda provenance.
