1. Vangísa Sutta. Preached by the Buddha at Aggálava cetiya. Vangísa's teacher, Nigrodhakappa, had just died there, and Vangísa asks the Buddha if he had attained Nibbána. Vangísa's question is really a poem in itself, containing ten verses, in praise of the Buddha. The Buddha says that Kappa has won Nibbána, because he had severed all the bonds of Mára. Vangísa then declares that Kappa attained that state because he followed the Buddha's teaching. SN. pp. 59ff.; the verses of the sutta are included in the Theragáthá (1263 79).
In the Commentary (SNA.i.345) the sutta is called Nigrodhakappa Sutta.
2. Vangísa Sutta. A set of ten verses, spoken by Vangísa at Jetavana, soon after winning arahantship, as he sat experiencing the bliss of emancipation. He congratulates himself on having become a disciple of the Buddha. S.i.196; the verses are included in Thag.1253-62.
