[733] On one occasion the Venerable Vaṅgīsa was dwelling at Āḷavī, at the Aggāḷava Shrine (cetiya), together with his preceptor (upajjhāya), the Venerable Nigrodhakappa. Now at that time the Venerable Vaṅgīsa, on account of his own ingenuity (paṭibhāna), looked down upon other well-behaved (pesala) bhikkhus.
Then it occurred to the Venerable Vaṅgīsa: "It is truly a loss for me, truly no gain for me; it is truly ill-gained for me, truly not well-gained for me, that on account of my own ingenuity I look down upon other well-behaved bhikkhus."
