[INDOLOGY] The Buddhist term sutta

[Philipp Maas]

On the topic see also:
  Konrad Klaus, "Zu den buddhistischen literarischen Fachbegriffen sutta
und suttanta." In: From Turfan to Ajanta. Festschrift for Dieter
Schlingloff on the Occasion of his Eightieth Birthday. Ed. by Eli Franco
and Monika Zin. 2 vols. Lumbini 2010. Vol.1, p. 519-532, which draws
attention to the fact that the Śrautasūtras and other Brahmanical works are
not at all concerned with reaching a maximum economy of expression.

Best,

Philipp
