(SNÂ 9:5) On one occasion Ven. ṅnanda was staying among the Kosalans in a forest grove. Now at that time, he was spending too much time devoted to instructing laypeople. Then the devatṅ inhabiting the forest grove, feeling sympathy for Ven. ṅnanda, desiring his benefit, desiring to bring him to his senses, approached him and recited a verse: "Going to the bower at the root of a tree, placing unbinding in your heart, do jhṅna, Gotama, & donât be heedless. What use is this chitter-chatter to you?" Then Ven. ṅnanda, chastened by the devatṅ, came to his senses. See also: Thag 1:119 - --> - - - -
