He visited the Buddha at the \*\*Añjanavana\*\* in \*\*Sāketa\*\*, and asked him whether he experienced feelings of pleasure and sorrow. The Buddha replied that he had overcome such feelings and was utterly free, whereupon Kakudha uttered his praises.¹ The \*Commentary\*² says that this Kakudha was a Brahmā and that he was an attendant of \*\*Moggallāna\*\*, thus identifying him with Kakudha (3 below). He lived with the thera in his youth, died in a Jhāna-trance and was reborn in the Brahma-world. - [Previous: v1.c12.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.27) - [Next: v1.c12.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.29) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.28) · Pramāṇa
