Special mention must be made of the Theragatha and Therigatha, which comprise poems of exquisite beauty. They are utterances of monk and nuns embodying their varied experiences. Literary critics rank them among the best lyrics in Indian literature. They remain unrivalled in the literary history of the world as creative writing issuing forth from the undefiled purity of the human heart and the nobility of human wisdom. They are ever-fresh fountains of inspiration to the truth-seeker and lasting monuments to the creative genius of liberated beings.from p. 14 Nibana as Living Experience by Lily de Silva, Wheel Pub 407\/408\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pali Text Society","offers":[{"title":"Vol 2 (Damaged copy)","offer_id":42108819538014,"sku":"PTS:132899 Damaged","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vol 2 (Nuns)","offer_id":42108819570782,"sku":"PTS:132899","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Poems of Early Buddhist Monks","offer_id":42108819603550,"sku":"PTS:133397","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3677\/0142\/files\/133397_1e5569fb-ce13-4f77-96d8-e7f164344806.jpg?v=1760547990"},{"product_id":"2140","title":"The Rhinoceros Horn and Other Early Buddhist Poems (Sutta-Nipata)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: firebrick;\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e PTS members must order directly from the PTS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperback edition of the Suttanipata (without notes).\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated by K.R.
