Title
Intrauterine Dependent Origination: A Translation of the Indakasutta and its Commentaries
The Indakasutta, its commentary (aṭṭhakathā), and sub-commentary (purāṇa-ṭīkā) describe and discuss the phases of intrauterine development. By adopting a terminology remarkably comparable to that of other Buddhist and non-Buddhist texts, they illustrate fundamental Buddhist teachings like the non-self (anattā) view and the dependent arising (paṭiccasamuppāda). I here offer a translation of these three texts, preceded by an introductory outline of their contents.
