In [[Hinduism]], '''Chanda''' is a monster that [[Chamunda]] [[Devi]] killed. It is also a popular name in the Hindu community. It means "the moon", similar to [[Chandra]].
In [[Pāli]] texts, '''Chanda''' is a sincere wish, or zeal - a mental factor that does not involve greed (lobha).
"Chandavato kim nāma kammam na sijjhati?"
Who has a serious wish to do, everything is possible.
