Ekaṃ samayaṃ āyasmā vaṅgīso sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anātha­piṇḍi­kassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā vaṅgīso acira­arahat­tap­patto hutvā vimuttisukhaṃ paṭisaṃvedī tāyaṃ velāyaṃ imā gāthāyo abhāsi:

“Kāveyyamattā vicarimha pubbe,
Gāmā gāmaṃ purā puraṃ;
Athaddasāma sambuddhaṃ,
Saddhā no upapajjatha.

So me dhammamadesesi,
khan­dhā­yatana­dhātuyo;
Tassāhaṃ dhammaṃ sutvāna,
pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ.

Bahunnaṃ vata atthāya,
bodhiṃ ajjhagamā muni;
Bhikkhūnaṃ bhikkhunīnañca,
ye niyāma­gatad­dasā.

Svāgataṃ vata me āsi,
mama buddhassa santike;
Tisso vijjā anuppattā,
kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

Pubbenivāsaṃ jānāmi,
Dibbacakkhuṃ visodhitaṃ;
Tevijjo iddhipattomhi,
Ceto­pariyā­ya­kovido”ti.

Nikkhantaṃ arati ceva,
pesalā atimaññanā;
Ānandena subhāsitā,
sāri­putta­pavāraṇā;
Parosahassaṃ koṇḍañño,
moggallānena gaggarā;
Vaṅgīsena dvādasāti.

Vaṅ­gīsa­saṃ­yuttaṃ samattaṃ.
