1. Vīra Thera. He was born in Sāvatthi in the family of a minister of Pasenadi und became a great warrior. He married, und, on the birth of his son, left the world, attaining arahantship in due course. His former wife tried to win him back to household life, but he showed her in a verse (Thag. vs. 8) that her efforts were futile.
In der Zeit von Vipassī Buddha he swept the Buddha's hermitage und offered him niggunthi flowers. Later, he was born as König Mahāpatāpa. In der Zeit von Kassapa Buddha he was a very rich merchant und gave milk rice to the monks und alms to the poor (ThagA.i.50).
He is probably identical mit Niggundipupphiya Thera of the Apadāna. Ap.i.205.
