Like the Ānaka drum of the
Dasārahas, in which the drumhead vanished,
leaving only the framework of pegs, even so is it with the Suttantas of the
Tathāgata which are deep in meaning. They lie neglected and forgotten while men
will turn their attention to the Suttantas of poets and the utterances of
disciples, full of words; these they will learn and master instead of the
Buddha's own teachings. S. ii.266-7.
