It was Pañcasikha who first received from the king of the Cātummahārājika worlds and their ministers reports of good deeds done by human beings. These he would pass on to Mātali, who, in his turn, presented them to Sakka.⁹ On the day of the Devorohaṇa, when the Buddha descended from Tāvatiṃsa, Pañcasikha was present to render honour to the Teacher in song and music.¹⁰ According to the legends¹¹ he was present with the Buddha on other occasions as well.
