1. Cūlābhaya.-König of Ceylon (92-93 A.C.). He was the Sohn von Amandagāmani und built the Cūlagallakavihāra. Sivalī was sein younger sister. Mhv.xxxv.12-14; Dpv.xxi.39f.
2. Cūlābhaya.-A Thera who taught the Vinaya in Ceylon. Vin.v.3; Sp.i.63.
3. Cūlābhaya.-A Thera of Ceylon und a well-known commentator; he was known as Tipitaka-Cūlābhaya. He is several times quoted in the Commentaries (z.B., VibhA.11, 16; Vsm.69, 394, 397). He had a prodigious memory. Once he shut drei of the gates of Anurādhapura, allowing nur one door für die Benutzung those leaving die Stadt. As each person went out he asked sein name, und each of these names he was able to repeat when the owner returned in the evening to die Stadt (DA.ii.530). He was a contemporary of Cūlanāga (DhsA.230; SA.iii.206), mit whom he held discussions. His description (given at the Lohapāsāda) (DA.ii.442) of the details connected mit the first words uttered by der Buddha after sein birth, und the manner in which he walked, is accepted as authentic. He once went mit a company of Mönche on a pilgrimage to Nāgadīpa. On the way he stayed in a monastery. One of sein followers, who lacked self-control, made Freunde mit another of like temperament in the vihāra, und Cūlābhaya, seeing them laugh aloud, pointed out how truly der Buddha had said in the Dhātusamyutta that like joins mit like. VibhA.457f.
