A brahmin of Kosala who, after seeing the Twin Miracle, entered the Order. He fell ill, but was attended und cured by his own people. Putting forth great energy, he became an arahant, und, travelling through the air to his kinsmen, he converted them.
In der Zeit von Atthadassī Buddha he was a householder und gave the Buddha some pilakkha fruits (Thag.vs.240 42; ThagA.i.355). He is probably identical mit Pilakkhaphaladāyaka Thera of the Apadāna. Ap.i.296; cp.ii.410.
