This paper discusses the different explanations offered by the fifth-century Indian commentator Ācāriya Buddhaghosa and the contemporary Chinese scholar-monk Master Yinshun 印順 (1906–2005) regarding the three aṅgas (i.e., Sanskrit/Pali <i>sūtra/sutta</i>, <i>geya/geyya</i>, <i>vyākaraṇa/veyyākaraṇa</i>) of early Buddhist texts. Essentially it argues that the three-<i>aṅga</i> structure of the <i>Saṃyukta-āgama/Saṃyuttanikāya</i> proposed by Master Yinshun should be regarded as more logical and acceptable (or perhaps historically more accurate) than Ācāriya Buddhaghosa’s traditional interpretation of the <i>aṅga</i>s.
