At one time the Buddha was staying near Ves\u0101l\u012b, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. Then, late at night, the glorious Kokanad\u0101, Pajjunna\u2019s daughter, lighting up the entire Great Wood, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and recited these verses in the Buddha\u2019s presence: \u201cStaying in the woods of Ves\u0101l\u012b is the Buddha, best of creation. Kokanad\u0101 am I who worships him, Kokanad\u0101, Pajjuna\u2019s daughter. Previously I had only heard the teaching realized by the Clear-eyed One. But now I know it as a witness while the sage, the Holy One teaches. There are simpletons who go about denouncing the teaching of the noble ones. They fall into the terrible Hell of Screams where they suffer long. There are those who have found  <j>acceptance and peace in the teaching of the noble ones. After giving up this human body, they swell the heavenly host.\u201d","title":"With Pajjunna\u2019s Daughter (1st)","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":157}
