Dutiyāpadāne ito satasahassamhītiādikaṃ āyasmato vakkalittherassa apadānaṃ. Ayampi thero purimajinavaresu katādhikāro tattha tattha bhave vivaṭṭūpanissayāni puññāni upacinanto padumuttarassa bhagavato kāle haṃsavatīnagare kulagehe nibbatto viññutaṃ patto satthu santikaṃ gacchantehi upāsakehi saddhiṃ vihāraṃ gantvā parisapariyante ṭhito dhammaṃ suṇanto satthārā ekaṃ bhikkhuṃ saddhādhimuttānaṃ aggaṭṭhāne ṭhapitaṃ disvā sayampi taṃ ṭhānantaraṃ patthento sattāhaṃ buddhappamukhassa bhikkhusaṅghassa mahādānaṃ datvā paṇidhānaṃ akāsi. Satthā tassa anantarāyaṃ disvā byākari.

So yāvajīvaṃ kusalaṃ katvā devamanussesu saṃsaranto amhākaṃ bhagavato kāle sāvatthiyaṃ brāhmaṇakule nibbatti, tassa vakkalīti nāmaṃ kariṃsu. Tattha kalīti aparādhatilakāḷakādidosassa adhivacanaṃ. Niddhantasuvaṇṇapiṇḍasadisatāya apagato byapagato kali doso assāti va-kārāgamaṃ katvā vakkalīti vuccati. So vuddhippatto tayo vede uggaṇhitvā brāhmaṇasippesu nipphattiṃ gato, satthāraṃ disvā rūpakāyasampattidassanena atitto satthārā saddhiṃyeva vicarati. ‘‘Agāramajjhe vasanto niccakālaṃ satthu dassanaṃ na labhissāmī’’ti satthu santike pabbajitvā ṭhapetvā bhojanakālaṃ sarīrakiccakālañca sesakāle yattha ṭhitena sakkā dasabalaṃ passituṃ, tattha ṭhito aññaṃ kiccaṃ pahāya bhagavantaṃ olokentoyeva viharati. Satthā tassa ñāṇaparipākaṃ āgamento bahukālaṃ tasmiṃ rūpadassaneneva vicarante kiñci avatvā punekadivasaṃ – ‘‘kiṃ te, vakkali, iminā pūtikāyena diṭṭhena? Yo kho, vakkali, dhammaṃ passati, so maṃ passati; yo maṃ passati, so dhammaṃ passati. Dhammañhi, vakkali, passanto maṃ passatī’’ti (saṃ. ni. 3.87) āha. Satthari evaṃ vadantepi thero satthu dassanaṃ pahāya aññattha gantuṃ na sakkoti. Tato satthā, ‘‘nāyaṃ bhikkhu saṃvegaṃ alabhitvā bujjhissatī’’ti vassūpanāyikadivase – ‘‘apehi, vakkalī’’ti theraṃ paṇāmesi. So satthārā paṇāmito satthu sammukhe ṭhātuṃ asakkonto – ‘‘kiṃ mayhaṃ jīvitena, yohaṃ satthāraṃ daṭṭhuṃ na labhāmī’’ti gijjhakūṭe pabbate papātaṭṭhānaṃ abhiruhi? Satthā tassa taṃ pavattiṃ ñatvā – ‘‘ayaṃ bhikkhu mama santikā assāsaṃ alabhanto maggaphalānaṃ upanissayaṃ nāseyyā’’ti attānaṃ dassetvā obhāsaṃ vissajjento –

‘‘Pāmojjabahulo bhikkhu, pasanno buddhasāsane;

Adhigacche padaṃ santaṃ, saṅkhārūpasamaṃ sukha’’nti. (dha. pa. 381) –

Gāthaṃ vatvā ‘‘ehi, vakkalī’’ti (dha. pa. aṭṭha. 2.381) hatthaṃ pasāresi. Thero ‘‘dasabalo me diṭṭho, ‘ehī’ti avhāyanampi laddha’’nti balavapītisomanassaṃ uppādetvā ‘‘kuto gacchāmī’’ti attano gamanabhāvaṃ ajānitvāva satthu sammukhe ākāse pakkhanditvā paṭhamena pādena pabbate ṭhitoyeva satthārā vuttagāthāyo āvajjento ākāseyeva pītiṃ vikkhambhetvā saha paṭisambhidāhi arahattaṃ pāpuṇīti aṅguttaraṭṭhakathāyaṃ (a. ni. aṭṭha. 1.1.208) dhammapadavaṇṇanāyañca (dha. pa. aṭṭha. 2.381 vakkalittheravatthu) āgataṃ.

Idha pana evaṃ veditabbaṃ – ‘‘kiṃ te, vakkalī’’tiādinā satthārā ovadito gijjhakūṭe viharanto vipassanaṃ paṭṭhapesi, tassa saddhāya balavabhāvato eva vipassanā vīthiṃ na otarati? Bhagavā taṃ ñatvā kammaṭṭhānaṃ sodhetvā adāsi. So puna vipassanaṃ matthakaṃ pāpetuṃ nāsakkhiyeva. Athassa āhāravekallena vātābādho uppajji, taṃ vātābādhena pīḷiyamānaṃ ñatvā bhagavā tattha gantvā pucchanto –

‘‘Vātarogābhinīto tvaṃ, viharaṃ kānane vane;

Paviddhagocare lūkhe, kathaṃ bhikkhu karissasī’’ti. (theragā. 350) –

Āha. Taṃ sutvā thero –

‘‘Pītisukhena vipulena, pharamāno samussayaṃ;

Lūkhampi abhisambhonto, viharissāmi kānane.

‘‘Bhāvento satipaṭṭhāne, indriyāni balāni ca;

Bojjhaṅgāni ca bhāvento, viharissāmi kānane.

‘‘Āraddhavīriye pahitatte, niccaṃ daḷhaparakkame;

Samagge sahite disvā, viharissāmi kānane.

‘‘Anussaranto sambuddhaṃ, aggaṃ dantaṃ samāhitaṃ;

Atandito rattindivaṃ, viharissāmi kānane’’ti. (theragā. 351-354) –

Catasso gāthāyo abhāsi. Tāsaṃ attho theragāthāvaṇṇanāyaṃ (theragā. aṭṭha. 2.351-354) vuttoyeva. Evaṃ thero vipassanaṃ ussukkāpetvā arahattaṃ pāpuṇi.
