Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesMentioned in the Anguttara Commentary (i.74), among the Jatakas revealed by the Buddha at Sankassa in answer to the questions asked by Sariputta.
No story of this name is found in the Jataka Commentary, but the verse quoted in the Anguttara Commentary is found in the Jhanasodhana Jataka (J.i.473f), for which evidently this was another name.
An Anangana Vatthu is mentioned in the Samantapasadika (i.158), but the reference is not clear, and probably refers to Anangana Sutta (infra).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
