**Kakacūpama Sutta.**—The twenty-first sutta of the Majjhima Nikāya, preached to Moliya-Phagguna, who was reported to the Buddha for frequenting the society of nuns and losing his temper when reproached therefor. A monk should not give way to anger even though he be sawn limb from limb with a two-handed saw (*ubhatodaṇḍakena kakacena*). The name of the sutta was given by the Buddha himself.¹
