Table of Contents and Parallels

Below is a (work-in-progress) list of all the sutras contained in the Ekottarika Agama.

Parallels listed in () are either only similar or they share templates with the subject but don't appear to be direct parallels.

The Uddana column indicates the placement of sutras according to the 27 uddana verses that have survived. Note that each numbered sutra in Chapters 4-7 is a group pseudo-sutras like those found in AN, grouping passages together without the full "Thus I have heard ... rejoiced and approved" format. Each "sutra" in these chapters has its own uddana verse.

The Fascicle column indicates the boundaries between fascicles in the Taisho edition of EA (T 125).
