Janavasabha untranslated

Janavasabha. A Yakkha, a later birth of King Bimbisāra. He appears before the Buddha at the Giñjakāvasatha in Ñātikā and declares his identity. He is on his way as a messenger from Vessavaṇa to Virūḷhaka and reports to the Buddha an account of an assembly of the Devas in Tāvatiṁsa which had taken place some time earlier, and which account he claims to have heard from Vessavaṇa. See Janavasabhasutta.

Janavasabha is a Sotāpanna and expresses a wish to be a Sakadāgāmi. He says he remembers fourteen lives in all. DN.ii.205f, 207, 214; cp. Janesabha.
