Description
In the Jeta’s Grove outside Śrāvastī, monks have gathered to listen to the Buddha as he presents the foundational doctrine of dependent arising. The Buddha first gives the definition of dependent arising and then teaches the twelve factors that form the causal chain of existence in saṃsāra as well as the defining characteristics of these twelve factors.

1 Recensions
The publication of the Śālistamba Sūtra along with other two Sūtras was planned long ago and commenced in October 1943 through the Bulletin and continued to
appear through the issues of the Bulletin till May 1949. The acute paper shortage at the time of commencement, in 1943 did not allow the printing of sufficient number of copies to issue the work as a separate volume, though the entire body of the book, omitting of course the Introduction, etc., appeared in the Bulletin. In pursuance of the plan to issue the book separately, the whole matter had to be reprinted. In so reprinting, the main change I have introduced is the replacement of the reconstructed text of the Vibhaṅga Sūtra by the original one which escaped my notice at that time. I must apologize to my readers that no attempt was made to translate into English any of the texts, although I have given in the Introduction a short summary of the contents of the Śālistamba Sūtra. I have discussed there in full all such topics that would interest the scholars in the present context. Some information from epigraphical records in regard to the Buddha's worship and image are also culled in the Additional Notes (pp, 31-33). The Tibetan text which is presented in this volume is reproduced from the xylograph copy of the Kanjur collection in Narthang Edition preserved in the Adyar Library. Since no Peking Edition of the collection was available to me, I was not able to consult that edition in preparing my Tibetan text. Full particulars about the Chinese translations are supplied in the Introduction, IV. Index of the Tibetan-Sanskrit words is intended to cover only the authentic terms thus the terms from the last Sūtra are left unrecorded in the Index. I have likewise also prepared a Chinese Index of such technical terms, Since the facility for printing Chinese characters is not available at present, I have deferred it for a future occasion. (N. A. Sastri, preface, v–vi)
