2. Vappa.—A Sākyan, disciple of the Nigaṇṭhas.¹ He visits Moggallāna and they talk of the āsavas. The Buddha joins them and tells Vappa how the āsavas can be completely destroyed so that the monk who has so destroyed them will abide in the six satata-vihāras with equanimity, mindful and comprehending. Vappa is convinced of the superiority of the Buddha’s teaching and becomes his follower.²
