**Aggivacchagotta Sutta** (*v.l.* **Aggivaceha Sutta**).—Preached at Jetavana to the wanderer Vacchagotta on the danger and futility of theorising about the world, life, etc.¹ The sutta is evidently so called because the simile of a fire is used. A blazing fire is visible, but, once extinguished, none can say whither it has disappeared.
