Vaṅgīsasutta untranslated

Vaṅgīsasutta 01. Preached by the Buddha at Aggāḷavacetiya. Vaṅgīsa’s teacher, Nigrodhakappa, had just died there, and Vaṅgīsa asks the Buddha if he had attained Nibbāna. Vaṅgīsa’s question is really a poem in itself, containing ten verses, in praise of the Buddha. The Buddha says that Kappa has won Nibbāna, because he had severed all the bonds of Māra. Vaṅgīsa then declares that Kappa attained that state because he followed the Buddha’s teaching. Snp. pp. 59ff.; the verses of the Sutta are included in the Theragāthā (1263-79). In the Commentary (Snp­a.i.345) the Sutta is called Nigrodhakappasutta.

Vaṅgīsasutta 02. A set of ten verses, spoken by Vaṅgīsa at Jetavana, soon after winning Arahant-ship, as he sat experiencing the bliss of emancipation. He congratulates himself on having become a disciple of the Buddha. SN.i.196; the verses are included in Thag.1253-62.
