## Second Study
## Sukali's Kankaavali Tapa
In those days, in that time, there was a city named Champa. There was the Punnabhadde garden and King Konika ruled there. In that city, Queen Sukali, the wife of King Sreniya and the younger mother of King Konika, was there. Like Kali, Sukali also renounced the world and wandered, cultivating her soul through many fasts and other austerities.
Then, one day, Sukali went to Arya Chandana and said, "Oh Arya! If you permit, I wish to practice the Kankaavali Tapa." Having received Arya Chandana's permission, Sukali, like Ratnavali, practiced the Kankaavali Tapa. The difference was that she performed the Ashtama-tele in all three places, while Ratnavali performed the Shashtha-bele.
One Paripaati takes one year, five months, and twelve days. In this one Paripaati, there are 88 days of Parana and one year, two months, and twelve days of Tapa. The duration of all four Paripaatis is five years, nine months, and eighteen days. The rest is the same as for Kali Arya. She practiced her vows for nine years until she became Siddha, Buddha, and liberated.
## Discussion
The only difference between the Kankaavali Tapa and the Ratnavali Tapa is that the Ratnavali Tapa performs Ashtama-bele and Chaturth-bele, while the Kankaavali Tapa performs Ashtama-tele and Chaturth-tele. The rest of the days of Tapa are the same. The Parana is also the same. One Paripaati of the Kankaavali Tapa takes one year, five months, and twelve days. Thus, all four Paripaatis take five years, nine months, and eighteen days. The outline of the first Paripaati of the Kankaavali Tapa is clearly shown by the instrument on the next page.
