Anamatagga Saṃyutta
The fifteenth section of the Saṃyutta NikÄya.
It contains a collection of sayings on the incalculable beginning of SaṃsÄra (S.ii.178ff).
After the Third Council, the Thera Rakkhita, who went to VanavÄsa, taught the Anamatagga Saṃyutta there and converted 60,000 persons (Mhv.xii.32f).
On the fourth day of Mahinda’s visit to Sri Lanka he taught this Saṃyutta in the Nandanavana in AnurÄdhapura (Mhv.xv.186; Sp.i.81; Mbv.114).
The PÄtheyyaka monks became Arahants after listening to the Buddha preaching the AnamataggÄni. DhA.ii.32.
