Kuṇāla.—One of the seven great lakes in the region of the Himālaya. The Buddha once visited it with a large concourse of Sākyan youths who had joined the Order, and on that occasion he preached the Kuṇāla Jātaka (q.v.).¹ The sun's rays never reached the waters of the lake, which were therefore never warm.² According to Buddhaghosa,³ the Kuṇāla Jātaka was actually preached on the banks of the Kuṇāladaha. - [Previous: v1.c12.2365](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2365) - [Next: v1.c12.2367](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2367) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2366](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2366) · Pramāṇa
