Majjhimabhāṇakā untranslated

Majjhimabhāṇakā. The “reciters” of the Majjhimanikāya (q.v.), those who learned it and handed it down, probably the “school” of Sāriputta.

This “school” included the Cariyāpiṭaka, Apadāna and Buddhavaṁsa in the Khuddakanikāya, and ascribed the whole Nikāya to the Suttapiṭaka. DN­a.i.15; Mil.341.
