v2.c27.264
Pañcasikha was evidently not only the name of a person, but also of an office (like Sakka), for in the Bilārakosiya Jātaka (*q.v.*) Ananda is said to have been Pañcasikha and to have helped Sakka and others to make of Bilārakosiya a generous man.¹² Similarly, in the Sudhābhojana Jātaka (*q.v.*), Anuruddha is identified with Pañcasikha.¹³
