This is the documentary research. It is the translation work from Pali into Thai language. The research reveals that the Sāratthamañjūsā Aṅguttaraṭīkā Part 3 was counted as the Sutta Sub-commentary. Its content was arranged into 7 Sutta Nipātas in sequence of numbers of dhamma topics contained in each Sutta, namely Pancanipāta, Chakkanipāta, Sattakanipāta, Atthakanipāta, Navakanipātas, Dasakanipata, and Ekadasakanipāta.  It possesses totally 15 Pannāsakam, 68 Vaggas, 288 Suttas. The composition style is the mixture of verse and prose. The writer brought evidence from Tipitaka, Commentaries, Sub-commentaries and others to support word explanation in the Sāratthamañjūsā Aṅguttaraṭīkā Part 3. The composition is systematic as a classical language in terms of wording, eloquence, stylistics, sentencing, and essay writing. This helps sustain the essence of dhamma fully completed with dhamma study, dhamma practice, and enlightment. Therefore, it is considered an invaluable Buddhist literature.
