The chapter of the octads is the fourth chapter of the Sutta Nipata and consists of sixteen short sutras in metrical form. The Buddha seems to have composed the chapter of octads near the beginning of his teaching career, because discussions concerning it are mentioned in the Pali canon. The importance of the chapter to early monks is illustrated in a story concerning Venerable Sona, who recited the sixteen sutras to the Buddha one morning, having been invited by the Blessed One to share his dwelling.
Translated from the Pali.
