Pañcalacanda Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna

1. Pa¤calacanda, the son of the gods standing on a side said this stanza in the presence of the Blessed One:


 * "The wise one realized it amidst great inconvenience.
 * The sage, clever at attaining the higher states of the mind realized it."

The Blessed One said:


 * "Pancalacanda, even with inconvenience it is done, to realize extinction
 * Those who rely on mindfulness are rightfully concentrated."
