Pañcālacanda.—A devaputta who visited the Buddha at Jetavana and uttered a verse to the effect that the man who understands jhāna finds room even among crowding obstacles. The Buddha corrects him, saying that those who are mindful and self-possessed know the way to Nibbāna.¹ This discussion forms the basis for the Pañcāla Sutta (above.) It is probably this same deva who is mentioned as a Mahāyakkha in the Āṭānāṭiya Sutta² who is to be invoked by the Buddha’s followers in time of need. - [Previous: v2.c27.290](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.290) - [Next: v2.c27.292](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.292) - [Up: v2.c27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.291](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.291) · Pramāṇa
