Information

This is an incomplete and unpublished draft of an index of the Sutta Piṭaka. For more information, visit the ReadMe on GitHub.

How to use the index

First, look things up by noun followed by an adjective. If that doesn't work, then try the adjective.

Checking cross references is essential. If you don't find what you need always check cross references.

For the sake of simplicity, the grammar of head and sub words may not always match. For example, energetic, as protector might be more accurately written as energetic, being as protector, which more verbosely would be written as energetic, being energetic serves as a protector.

In all cases, one should actually read the sutta being refrenced and not rely on the index headings or subheadings. For example, some wrong views may be indexed in a way that is not immediately apparent that they are such. So actually reading the sutta is critical for understanding the matter at hand.

Diacritics are ignored for alphabetization.

Pāli

Pāli is given for some terms. The Pāli is generally in the singular, though the term in the text may be plural.

Generally, headwords will be in English. For some words where the Pāli is more concise and well known (e.g. Bodhisatta, paccekabuddha) it will be listed under Pāli.

In some cases, although a Pāli word may appear in parentheses in the head word, the Pāli word may not appear in the text.

Proper names may refer to multiple distinct individuals. Also note that some identical looking names may be gendered versions, e.g. Visākhā and Visākha.

Sutta Summaries

Most suttas have a short summary. To see them, desktop users can hover over citations with the mouse. Mobile and touch users can swipe them.

While this index attempts to be more than just significant occurrences, it is by no mean a complete concordance of all words in the Sutta Piṭaka. For that you may want to try using the DigitalPaliReader.online .

The Digital Pāli Dictionary is also an excellent resource.
