**Abhayarājakumāra Sutta.**—It contains the episode of Prince Abhaya (q.v.) visiting the Buddha at Rājagaha and setting him the questions suggested by Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta : Would a Tathāgatha say anything unpleasant or disagreeable to others? If he did, how would he differ from ordinary men? If he did not, how was it that the Buddha spoke of Devadatta as a reprobate, a child of perdition, etc.—words which angered and upset Devadatta?
