Chapter One
With Pañcālacaṇḍa
1 At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, the godling Pañcālacaṇḍa spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
2 “The opening amid confinement
was discovered by the Buddha of vast intelligence,
who awakened to absorption,
the sage, the solitary boss bull.”
3 “Even amid confinement they understand,” said the Buddha to Pañcālacaṇḍa,
“the principle for attaining extinguishment.
Those who have acquired mindfulness
are perfectly serene in samādhi.”
