Pañcacūlaka.—The name of Sanaṅkumāra when he was born as a human in a former birth. He practised the jhāna, and having died in that state, was born in the brahma-world.¹ More probably, Pañcacūlaka here is not a name but a description meaning “while he was yet a lad with his hair tied in five knots.”
