What is Itivuttakapāḷi : Book of this was said : a contemporary translation about?

The Present Book, Itivuttaka, Belongs To The Pali Tipitaka, The Authorized Recension For The Theravada Buddhism. It Is Unique In The Buddhist Teachings In That It Contains Verses Recited And Collected By A Woman Named Khujjuttara (declared By Lord Buddha To Be Foremost Of Those Who Were Learned), A Maid-servant Of The Famous Queen Samavati (declared By Lord Buddha To Be Foremost Of Those Who Dwelt In Friendship). Whenever Lord Buddha Was In Kosambi, Khujjuttara Would Go And Listen To The Teachings. Upon Her Return She Would Recite The Teachings To The Royalty That Included Queens, Princesses, And Their Maid-servants. To Emphasize That She Was Telling The Words Of The Enlightened One, She Prefaced Each Teaching With The Standard Formula Of This Was Said By The Blessed One, Said By The Arahant Thus I Heard. In This Way, While Being Of A Lower Class, She In Fact Became A Teacher To The High-class, Royal Women. Itivuttaka Is Also One Of The Nine Divisions Within Which Lord Buddha's Teachings Are Classified - Thus The Genesis Of This Term And This Collection Is Indeed Ancient. The Teachings Contained In The Present Book Are Organized Similarly To Anguttara Nikaya (numerical Discourses).
