Dear Frank

to my knowledge there are nearly no commentaries on Aagamas preserved in Chinese, apart from a partial commentary on the beginning parts of the Ekottarika-aagama, T1507.

There is a section of a what originally would have been a commentary on the Samyukta-aagama that is no integrated into the Vastusangraha.nii of the Yogacaarabhuumi, this should be somewhere available online, but would all be in Chinese (if you read Chinese let me know and I check where)

Among Sanskritfragments of the SHT series there are also a few commentaries here and there, but relatively little (cf. SHT I 24, SHT I 34, SHT I 36, SHT III 802, SHT IV 649, SHT V 1104, SHT VIII 1828, SHT IX 2013). None of these are available online, to my knowledge

That is, we know there were commentaries on the Aagamas transmitted by non-Theravaada schools, but it seems these have not been well preserved.

with much mettaa

Bhikkhu Anaalayo

Subject: [Pali] online sutra text for agamas? Commentaries?



Dear Pali friends,
I know suttacentral has links to Chinese Agamas text online indexed
by their parallel correspondence to Pali Suttas, for example on this page:
http://www.suttacentral.net/disp_sutta.php?division_id=2&collection_name=Pali&division_name=Majjhima%20Nik%C4%81ya&type=Division&division_acronym=MN

Are there online commentaries (and subcommentaries) for the Agamas,
as there are for the Pali Canon?
-Frank
