The Dhammapada belongs to the Khuddaka Nikāya (the minor Collection). Its verses prescribe guidance for a life of morality, discernment and wisdom. The Dhammapada atthakatha offers commentary on the Dhammapada. It is an expository text, and provides context for the specific incidents which in turn prompted each cautionary utterance (Gāthā) in the Dhammapada.
