DESCRIPTION
The Madhyama Āgama (中阿含經 "Middle-length Discourses") corresponds to the Majjhima Nikāya of the Theravada school. A complete Chinese translation of the Madhyama Āgama of the Sarvāstivāda school was done by Saṃghadeva (僧伽提婆) in 397-398 CE (T. 26). The Madhyama Āgama of the Sarvāstivāda school contains 222 sūtras, in contrast to the 152 suttas of the Pāli Majjhima Nikāya. Of the two hundred and twenty-two sutras of T. 26, only one hundred and three have their counterpart in the Majjhima Nikāya; fourteen have their counterpart in the Dīgha Nikāya (’The Long Discourses’), seventeen in the Saṃyutta Nikāya (’The Connected Discourses’), and eighty-seven in the Aṅguttara Nikāya. Fourteen of the two hundred and twenty-two sutras of T. 26 have no known parallel in the Pāli corpus.
Portions of the Sarvāstivāda Madhyama Āgama also survive in Tibetan translation.
