Kaccána Peyyála.-Mentioned in the Anguttara Commentary (AA.i.118) together with the Madhupindika Sutta and the Páráyana Sutta as an exposition of Mahá Kaccána, in consequence of which the Buddha declared the Elder to be chief among those who could explain in detail what had been stated briefly. The reference is probably to the Kaccána Sutta.
Kaccána Sutta.-A discourse to the monks by Mahá Kaccána on the six topics of recollection - the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, one's own virtues, generosity and the devas (A.iii.314ff). It is quoted in the Visuddhi-magga (p.519), where it is stated that to speak of casual happenings as a mere arising is to contradict both the Padesa-vihára Sutta and the Kaccána Sutta. See also Kaccána Peyyála.
