   Show answer

   Answer: (4) Anguttara Nikaya

   సమాధానం: (4) అంగుత్తర నికయ

   The Anguttara Nikaya lists the sixteen Mahajanapadas, including Assaka (Asmaka) on the Godavari, the only one of them south of the Vindhyas. It is itself a book of the Sutta Pitaka, so (2) is true in a broad sense, but (4) names the specific text.
