1. Arati Sutta.—Once when Vaṅgīsa was in Āḷavī he noticed that his teacher, Nigrodha Kappa, never left his cell after his return from the alms-round. Disaffection arose in Vaṅgīsa’s heart and he was troubled by thoughts of lust. He composed several verses by way of self-admonition and uttered them to himself. These form the Arati Sutta.¹
