Sutta Cross Reference Table

(Skip to table)

This table is provided to address the problem with finding a reference given in the format of the Pali Text Society (PTS). e.g. S IV43 (or S iv43). This translates to "page 43 in the fourth volume of the (Pali) Samyutta Nikaya. In this example the PTS reference is to SN35.71-73.

To use the table, the volumes of each of the nikayas are listed as hyperlinks. If your reference is for iv 43 of the Samyutta Nikaya click on the iv in the top area alongside the Samyutta Nikaya. You'll be taken to the suttas in volume iv where you can scroll down till you find iv 43 in the right hand column. Clicking anywhere in that row will take you to the sutta itself. Finding the verse in a PTS reference is the next hurdle but at least you've found the sutta from the PTS reference. (Paragraph numbers in the Pali are numbered sequentially from the beginning of the volume making it challenging to find a particular verse.)
