Ujjhānasaññikā untranslated

Ujjhānasaññikā. The name given to a group of Devas who once visited the Buddha at Jetavana late at night. They charged the Buddha with inconsistency, but later, begging his forgiveness, they were pardoned by him (SN.i.23-5). Buddhaghosa (SN­a.i.50f) says that they did not belong to any separate Deva-world but were given this name by the Theras of the Council on account of their captious remarks. They had heard the Buddha praise his monks for self-denying practices while he himself wore raiment of silk, fine cloth or linen, ate food worthy of a rājā, dwelt in a Fragrant Cell like unto a Deva-mansion and used good medicines.
