4. Catukkanipāta - (The Book of Fours)
5. Pañcakanipāta - (The Book of Fives)
6. Chakkanipāta - (The Book of Sixes)
7. Sattakanipāta - (The Book of Sevens)

9. Navakanipāta - (The Book of Nines)
10. Dasakanipāta - (The Book of Tens)
11. Ekādasakanipāta - (The Book of Elevens)
Each Nipāta is divided again into groups called Vaggas which usually contain 10-20 Suttas.
The discourses are arranged in progressive numerical order, each Nipāta containing Suttas with items of Dhamma, beginning with one item and moving up by units of one till there are 11 items of Dhamma in each Sutta of the last Nipāta, hence the name Aṅguttara meaning increasing by one item
.
The 1st Nipāta, Ekaka Nipāta, provides in each Sutta single items of Dhamma called the Ones; the 2nd Nipāta, Duka Nipāta, contains in each Sutta two items of Dhamma called the Twos,
and the last Nipāta, Ekādasaka Nipāta, is made up of Suttas with 11 items of Dhamma in each, called the Elevens.
Aṅguttara Nikāya constitutes an important source book on Buddhist psychology and ethics, which provides an enumerated summary of all the essential features concerning the theory and practice of the Dhamma.
A unique chapter entitled Etadagga Vagga of Ekaka Nipāta enumerates the names of the foremost disciples amongst the Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunīs, Upāsakas, Upāsikās, who had achieved pre-eminence in one sphere of attainment or meritorious activity.
