Aṅguttarāpa untranslated

Aṅguttarāpa. A country north of the river Mahī, evidently a part of Aṅga on the other side of that river (Aṅgā eva so janapado; Gaṅgāya (Mahā Mahīgaṅgāya) pana yā uttarena āpo, tāsaṁ avidūrattā Uttarāpati vuccati) (Snp-a.ii.437).

It was here, in the village Āpaṇa, that Gotama Buddha was staying when the Jaṭila Keniya came to see him; here also was preached the Selasutta (Sn.102f). From Bhaddiya (in Aṅga), (Dhp­a.i.384) the Buddha went to Aṅguttarāpa and thence to Āpaṇa (Vin.i.243-5; Dhp­a.iii.363).

The country was probably rich because we find as many as 1,250 monks accompanying the Buddha on his tour (Sn.102f).

Other Suttas preached here are the Poṭaliya (MN.i.359), and the Laṭukikopama (MN.i.447).

Āpaṇa seems to have been the chief township, because it is always mentioned in connection with Aṅguttarāpa.
