Khuddakapatha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Khuddakapatha is considered a late addition to the Pali Canon, collecting discourses all but one of which is
found elsewhere in the Pali Canon. (The Nidhi Kanda is not extant in the current Pali Canon but does include text
[Khp 8.9] quoted in the Abhidhamma Pitaka's Kathavatthu [Kv 351,18-21].)[2]
