Pañcālacaṇḍa praises the Buddha for finding the opening amid the confinement of the world. But the Buddha affirms that anyone with mindfulness and stillness may find such an escape.

At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, the godling Pañcālacaṇḍa spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“The opening amid confinement was discovered by the Buddha of vast intelligence, who awakened to absorption, the sage, the solitary boss bull.”
“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.”
