Āḷavakapucchā untranslated

Āḷavakapucchā. A name for the questions asked by Āḷavaka of the Buddha and mentioned in the Āḷavakasutta (q.v.). When the Sāsana gradually falls into abeyance, questions such as these and the questions in the Sabhiyapucchā, will remain in the memories of men, but they will not suffice to keep the religion alive (Vibh­a.432).
