The '''Itivuttaka''' ([[Pali]] for "as it was said") is a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] scripture, part of the [[Pali Canon]] of [[Theravada]] Buddhism and is attributed to [[Khujjuttara]]'s recollection of Buddha's discourses.<ref>Ireland, John (trans. & intro.) (1999). ''Itivuttaka: The Buddha's Sayings (excerpts)''. Article's "Introduction" is available on-line at http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/iti/iti.intro.irel.html#intro</ref><ref>Thanissaro Bhikkhu (trans. & intro.) (2001). ''Itivuttaka: This Was Said by the Buddha''. "Translator's Introduction" is available on-line at http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/iti/iti.intro.than.html#intro.</ref> It is included there in the [[Sutta Pitaka]]'s [[Khuddaka Nikaya]]. It comprises 112 short teachings ascribed in the text to the [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]], each consisting of a prose portion followed by a verse portion. The latter may be a paraphrase of the former, or complementary. Some scholars<ref>Nakamura, ''Indian Buddhism'', Japan, 1990; reprinted Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi</ref> consider it one of the earliest of all Buddhist scriptures, while others consider it somewhat later. Latest translation by Anagarika Mahendra has been published in 2018.<br />
