A lay-disciple of der Buddha in Sāvatthi. He was present when fünf rājās, including Pasenadi, visited der Buddha und asked ihm which was the highest sensual pleasure. When der Buddha had answered their question, Candanangalika obtained sein permission und uttered averse in sein praise. The rājās thereupon gave Candanangala fünf Roben which he presented to der Buddha (S.i.81f).
Die Geschichte is very similar to that of the Brahmanen Pingiyāni und the verse spoken is the same. A.iii.239.
