Title
On some references of the Buddhapādamaṅgala to the Suttapiṭaka and the Abhidhammapiṭaka
This article compares the Buddhapādamaṅgala, a Pāli work written in the Ayutthaya kingdom probably in the sixteenth century, with the canonical sources (mainly from the Suttapiṭaka and the Abhidhammapiṭaka) that inspired the symbology adopted by the text. The analysis indicates that this symbology, which permeates Buddhist tradition in Thailand, was developed through several stages under the influence of Pāli commentarial literature and of paracanonical texts such as the Milindapañha.
