Pañcāla Sutta

A discussion between Ananda and Udāyi (Kāludāyi) regarding a verse uttered by the devaputta Pañcālacanda (See S.i.48) as to what constitutes obstacles (sambādha) in the world and what release therefrom (okāsādhigama). Udāyi says that the five sensuous pleasures are the sambādha, and that okāsadhigama consists in the attainment of the jhānas. A.iv.449f.; AA.ii.815.
