The third division of the Dīgha Nikāya, containing eleven discourses on a range of topics including cosmology, ethics, and the qualities of a universal monarch. Notable discourses include the Aggañña Sutta on the origins of society and the Saṅgīti Sutta and Dasuttara Sutta, which systematically catalogue the Buddha's teachings in numbered sets — serving as precursors to the Abhidhamma method of analysis.
