They charged the Buddha with inconsistency, but later, begging his forgiveness, they were pardoned by him.¹ Buddhaghosa² says that they did not belong to any separate deva-world but were given this name by the Theras of the Council on account of their captious remarks. They had heard the Buddha praise his monks for self-denying practices while he himself wore raiment of silk, fine cloth or linen, ate food worthy of a rājā, dwelt in a Fragrant Cell like unto a deva-mansion and used good medicines. - [Previous: v1.c9.246](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.246) - [Next: v1.c9.248](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.248) - [Up: v1.c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.247](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.247) · Pramāṇa
