: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOnce Vangisa, soon after his ordination, was staying at the Aggalava cetiya with his tutor, Nigrodha Kappa. During his tutors absence, a number of gaily dressed women came to the vihara, and Vangisa was greatly perturbed in mind.

(Auto-Translation): The realm of the Tathagata, having entered from the human realm into the realm of the Buddha, I, who dwell peacefully, have now been overwhelmed by the desires and cravings. These severe and harsh conditions have rushed in as if they have come from the dark congregation of Mara, as such is the discourse spoken by the venerable monk Wengitha Thara.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
