The Pali Apadana Collection 

The Apadana is a collection of stories written in verse, most of which are ascribed to, and deal with the lives of Buddhist elder monks and nuns. These elders are acknowledged as direct disciples. These elders are acknowledged as direct disciples of Gotama Buddha who had been members of his monastic community, the sangha, for more than ten years. It is a long and unwidely collection consisting of around eight thousand verses distributed among 592 apadana-s, the shortest of which contains fewer than ten verses, the longest over two hundred. It is arranged into four parts.
