Sutra
Sutra (IAST: sūtra) is an aphorism or other teaching that is part of the ancient religious traditions originating in South Asia, particularly Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The term sutra can broadly refer to a single aphorism, a collection of aphorisms in the form of a manual or even a condensed manual or text. Sutras are considered a genre of ancient and medieval Indian texts.

The word sūtra (Sanskrit: सूत्र, Pali: sūtta, Ardha Magadhi: sūya) means "string, thread". The root of the word is siv, that which sews and holds things together. The word is related to sūci (Sanskrit: सूचि) meaning "needle, list", and sūnā (Sanskrit: सूना) meaning "woven", from PIE root *syu- "to bind, sew".
Lat. and en. «stratum» - "layers of material arranged one on top of another, any of the regions of the atmosphere, such as the stratosphere, that occur as layers, a class of society composed of people with similar social, cultural, or economic status". See (17:45) and (17:46).
