Dating

The first paragraph includes the following statement: "Composed between 3rd century BCE and 2nd century CE.", with a reference to Singh, Upinder. A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India: From the Stone Age to the 12th Century. Pearson. p. 25.

However, looking into the mentioned place one reads: "For instance, the Sutta Pitaka consists of five Nikayas—the Digha, Majjhima, Samyutta, Anguttara, and Khuddaka Nikayas. The Jatakas—stories of the previous births of the Buddha—are one of the 15 books of the Khuddaka Nikaya, and their composition can be placed between the 3rd century BCE and the 2nd century CE.", i.e. the referred author clearly talks about the estimated dating of Jatakas, a part of Khuddaka Nikaya, not Majjhima Nikaya.

I won't make any changes to the texts on my own, but this is an error worth pointing out. Karlo Mikić 90.137.137.210 (talk) 15:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
