<h1><a id="suttaref">Sutta Reference Numbers</a></h1>
<p>Over the years, Pali and Buddhist scholars have used a bewildering array of numbering schemes to refer to suttas and other passages in the Tipitaka.<a class='noteTag' href='#fn-1x' id='fnt-1x'>[1]</a> On this website I use the following convention to identify texts within the Sutta Pitaka:</p>
<dl class='index'>
<dt>Digha Nikaya (DN)</dt>
<dd>Contains 34 suttas.<a class='noteTag' href='#fn-2' id='fnt-2'>[2]</a> References are to sutta number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/dn/dn.21.2x.than.html">DN 21</a></dd>
<dt>Majjhima Nikaya (MN)</dt>
<dd>Contains 152 suttas. References are to sutta number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/mn/mn.108.than.html">MN 108</a></dd>
<dt>Samyutta Nikaya (SN)</dt>
<dd>Depending on how the suttas are tallied, it contains either 7,762; 2,904; or 2,889 suttas.<a class='noteTag' href='#fn-3' id='fnt-3'>[3]</a> The Samyutta Nikaya is divided into 5 vaggas (chapters) containing a total of 56 samyuttas (groups) of suttas. References are to samyutta and sutta number, using BKS as a guide to numbering. Example: <a href="tipitaka/sn/sn56/sn56.011.than.html">SN 56.11</a> is sutta #11 within samyutta #56.</dd>
<dt>Anguttara Nikaya (AN)</dt>
<dd>Depending on how the suttas are tallied, it contains either 9,557; 8,777; 2,344; or 2,308 suttas.<a class='noteTag' href='#fn-4' id='fnt-4'>[4]</a> The Anguttara Nikaya is divided into 11 nipatas (books), each of which is further divided into vaggas containing 10 or more suttas. References are to nipata and sutta number, using BGS as a guide to numbering. Example: <a href="tipitaka/an/an03/an03.065.than.html">AN 3.65</a> is sutta 65 in the book of the Threes.</dd>
<dt>Khuddaka Nikaya:</dt>
<dd>
<dl class='indexInline'>
<dt>Khuddakapatha (Khp)</dt>
<dd>Contains 9 short texts. References are to text number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/khp/khp.1-9x.piya.html#khp-6">Khp 6</a> is text #6.</dd>
<dt>Dhammapada (Dhp)</dt>
<dd>Contains 423 verses, arranged in 26 vaggas. References are to verse number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/dhp/dhp.20.than.html#dhp-273">Dhp 273</a> is verse #273.</dd>
<dt>Udana (Ud)</dt>
<dd>Contains 80 suttas, arranged in 8 vaggas. References are to vagga and sutta number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/ud/ud.3.02.than.html">Ud 3.2</a> is sutta #2 within vagga #3.</dd>
<dt>Itivuttaka (Iti)</dt>
<dd>Contains 112 suttas, arranged in 4 nipatas. References are to sutta number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/iti/iti.2.028-049.than.html#iti-029">Iti 29</a> is sutta #29.</dd>
<dt>Sutta Nipata (Sn)</dt>
<dd>Contains 71 suttas, arranged in 5 vaggas. References are to vagga and sutta number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/snp/snp.1.08.than.html">Sn 1.8</a> is sutta #8 within vagga #1.</dd>
<dt>Theragatha (Thag)</dt>
<dd>Contains 1,291 <i>gathas</i> (verses) divided into 264 poems that are grouped according to length in 21 vaggas. References are to vagga and poem number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/thag/thag.06.10.than.html">Thag 6.10</a> is poem #10 within vagga #6.</dd>
<dt>Therigatha (Thig)</dt>
<dd>Contains 522 gathas divided into 73 poems that are grouped according to length in 16 vaggas. References are to vagga and poem number. Example: <a href="tipitaka/kn/thig/thig.05.10.than.html">Thig 5.10</a> is poem #10 within vagga #5.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Readers who are accustomed to other numbering systems or who wish to compare Access to Insight's translations against the original Pali texts may refer to the alternative reference numbers that appear in braces {} on the pages that contain the short summaries of the suttas. (These summaries are available by clicking on the "About" link at the top of a sutta page.) These alternate references consist either of the corresponding volume and starting page number in the PTS printed Pali edition (in the case of DN, MN, SN, and AN), the verse numbers (in Ud, Sn, Thag, and Thig), the nipata and sutta number (in Iti), or some combination thereof. The braces may also contain additional notes concerning a text's location within the Tipitaka, especially in cases where the numbering varies between editions of the Tipitaka.</p>

<div class='chapter'>
<h1><a id="velthuis">Representing Pali diacritics using the Velthuis method</a></h1>
<p>Some books and articles on Access to Insight contain substantial amounts of Pali text. Many of them use the Velthuis method<a class='noteTag' href='#fn-5' id='fnt-5'>[5]</a> to represent romanized Pali's accented characters (diacritics) that are not part of the standard roman and ASCII alphabets. In this scheme two basic rules are observed: </p>
<ol>
<li>Long vowels (those usually typeset with a macron (bar) above them) are doubled: <i>aa ii uu</i></li>
<li>For consonants, the diacritic mark precedes the letter it affects. Thus, the retroflex (cerebral) consonants (usually typeset with a dot underneath) are: <i>.t .th .d .dh .n .l</i>. The pure nasal (niggahiita) m, also typeset with a dot underneath, is <i>.m</i>. The guttural nasal (<i>n</i> with a dot above) is represented as <i>"n .</i> The palatal nasal <i>(n</i> with a tilde) is <i>~n.</i></li>
</ol>
<p>For example: <i>paa.naatipaataa verama.nii sikkhaa-pada.m samaadiyaami</i> and <i>itihida.m aayasmato ko.n.da~n~nassa a~n~na-ko.n.da~n~no'tveva naama.m ahosiiti</i>.</p>

Until the arrival of Unicode fonts and applications, Pali and Sanskrit scholars widely used this method as a standard technique in Internet correspondence. <!--
