Mahā Vedallasutta untranslated

Mahā Vedallasutta. A series of questions asked by Mahā Koṭṭhita on psychological topics – e.g., understanding, consciousness, feeling, perception, pure mental consciousness (manoviññāṇa), isolated from the five faculties of bodily sense – the eye of understanding, right outlook, types of rebirth, first jhāna, etc. – and Sāriputta’s answers thereto (MN.i.292-8).

The Sutta was probably originally compiled rather as a “lesson” for learners than as a genuine enquiry by Koṭṭhita. This Sutta it was which obtained for Koṭṭhita the rank of pre-eminence among those possessing the paṭisambhidā. AN­a.i.159.
