Special mention must be made of the Theragatha and Therigatha, which comprise poems of exquisite beauty. They are utterances of monk and nuns embodying their varied experiences. Literary critics rank them among the best lyrics in Indian literature. They remain unrivaled in the literary history of the world as creative writing issuing forth from the undefiled purity of the human heart and the nobility of human wisdom. They are ever-fresh fountains of inspiration to the truth-seeker and lasting monuments to the creative genius of liberated beings.from p. 14 Nibana as Living Experience by Lily de Silva, Wheel Pub 407\/408\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVol 1 - Translation of Theragatha or Psalms of the Brethren.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSee also : \u003ca href=\"Poems-of-Early-Buddhist-Monks-Nuns_p_2135.html\"\u003ePoems of the Early Buddhist Monks (paperback)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVol 2 - The Therigatha, the ninth book of the Khuddaka Nikaya, consists of 73 poems  522 stanzas in all  in which the early nuns (bhikkhunis) recount their struggles and accomplishments along the road to arahantship.
