Summary: The Apadāna ("Legendary Lives") is the thirteenth book of the khuddaka nikaya. In the local corpus it is currently available as a raw BJT Pali/Sinhala source reader, preserving the native tipitaka.lk page-entry segmentation rather than a fully edited wiki text rendering.
Overview
The Apadāna is a large verse collection of legendary and biographical accounts connected with disciples and past meritorious deeds. It belongs near the Theragāthā, Therīgāthā, Buddhavaṁsa, and Cariyāpiṭaka in the Khuddaka map because it shares a strong interest in remembered lives, aspiration, offering, and the karmic continuity behind final liberation.
This page is an overview page only. The raw BJT Pali source and Sinhala translation have been ingested and reviewed, but a full text-page presentation with normalized internal divisions, named-person pages, cross-references, and supporting pages is deferred.
Source reader
The current raw reader uses BJT page-entry identifiers such as kn-ap:1.5. The BJT Pali and Sinhala native entry counts do not align perfectly in this extract, so the parallel reader uses a union of segment identifiers and displays explicit missing-edition placeholders where one side has no matching row.
Structure
At this overview stage the local wiki treats the Apadāna as a single Khuddaka source unit. The reviewed raw source should continue to anchor navigation until later batches normalize the internal divisions, speaker or subject headings, and citation conventions for this large collection.
Textual status
This page is backed by the reviewed raw-only Tipitaka.lk Stage 1 ingest for Apadāna. The batch extracted 9840 BJT Pali rows and 9627 BJT Sinhala rows from pathnirvana/tipitaka.lk; the row-count mismatch is recorded as a source-alignment fact, not normalized away. Sinhala republication status remains pending verification, so the Sinhala text is exposed locally through the reader but is not treated here as a public republication-ready translation.
