Khudakka Nikaya
www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/index.html
Introduction.
The Khuddaka Nikaya, or "Collection of Little Texts" (Pali khudda = "smaller; lesser"), the fifth division of the Sutta Pitaka, is a wide-ranging collection of fifteen books (eighteen in the Burmese Tipitaka) that contain complete suttas, verses, and smaller fragments of Dhamma teachings. While many of these have been treasured and memorized by devout Buddhists around the world for centuries, others have never left the private domain of Pali scholars, and have never even been translated into English.
(This Nikaya contains the Dhammapada. Ed).
