The name given to the riddle in which Amarā tells Mahosadha the way to her house: "Yena sattu bilangā ca dvigunapalāso ca pupphito, yenādāmi tena vadāmi yena nādāmi na tena vadāmi esa maggo yavamajjhakassa etam channapatham vijānāhīti." 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 Amarādevipañha, is, however, called Channapathapañha in the Ummagga Jātaka itself, where it actually occurs in the story. J. vi.365-6.
