The Itivuttaka (Pali for "as it was said") is: a Buddhist scripture, part of theāāPali Canon of Theravada Buddhism and is attributedāāto Khujjuttara's recollection of Buddha's discourses. It is included there in the Sutta Pitaka's Khuddaka Nikaya. It comprises 112 short teachings ascribed in the text to the Buddha, each consisting of a prose portion followed by, "a verse portion." The latter may be, a paraphrase of the "former." Or complementary. Some scholars consider it one of the earliest of all Buddhist scriptures, "while others consider it somewhat later." Latest translation by Samanera Mahinda has been published in 2018.
