The Late Mixed Collection

The  Three Baskets Project divides the Mixed Collection into an earlycollection, and a later collection, this one. The works in these two collections are independent, and miscellaneous. Most of the text in these collections are in verse, and contain some of the most important poetry in Buddhism. The early collection is believed to consist in the earliest texts, whereas the later collection is believed to consist in the latest texts of the Vehicle of the Hearers, the latest of which is the Question of King Menander, as found in the Burmese edition of the Three Baskets, which dates to the first century before the Common Era. In the Three Baskets Project, extra miscellaneous texts from schools other than those found in the Theravāda (P.; Sthaviravāda Skt.), which cannot be classified as texts of the Great Vehicle.
