Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe name given to the riddle in which Amara tells Mahosadha the way to her house: Yena sattu bilanga ca dvigunapalaso ca pupphito, yenadami tena vadami yena nadami na tena vadami esa maggo yavamajjhakassa etam channapatham vijanahiti.
The scholiast explains it thus: entering the village you will see a cake shop and then a gruel shop; further on an ebony tree in flower, take a path to the right.
This riddle referred to in J.i.425 as the Amaradevipanha, is, however, called Channapathapanha in the Ummagga Jataka itself, where it actually occurs in the story. J.vi.365-6.
