Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesEvidently the name given to the questions asked of the Buddha by Maras daughters, Tanha, Arati and Raga - when they visited him in order to tempt him - and the Buddhas answers.
These questions and answers form the Dhitaro Sutta of the Samyutta Nikaya (S.i.124f), but a quotation from them given in the Anguttara (A.v.46f) is mentioned as having been taken from the Kumaripanha.
The Commentary (AA.ii.828) mentions them as being the questions of Maras daughters (kumarinam Maradhitanam puccha).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
