Abstract
With the present paper I explore the notion of a Paccekabuddha as reflected in the Isigili-sutta of the Majjhima-nikāya and its Ekottarika-āgama parallel. After providing an annotated translation of the Ekottarika-āgama version, I compare the two discourses with particular emphasis on the information they provide about the concept of a Paccekabuddha.
