Ajita10
PersonCon trai một bà-la-môn nghèo ở Sāvatthi, được đặt tên như vậy vì lúc sinh ra được quấn trong da linh dương, đã xuất gia sau khi chứng kiến việc cúng dường Kỳ Viên (Jetavana), và mặc dù bị bỏ qua và khinh miệt lâu dài vì các ác nghiệp trong quá khứ, cuối cùng đã chứng quả A-la-hán.
He belonged to a poor brahmin family of Sāvatthi, and was so called because at birth he was wrapped in an antelope skin. He saw the presentation of Jetavana and, impressed by the majesty of the Buddha, joined the Order and later became an Arahant. However, because of past misdeeds he remained unhonoured and unknown, and on this account was despised by worldly novices (Thag.129-30; ThagA.i.250 f).
He is evidently to be identified with Ghatamaṇḍadāyaka Thera of the Apadāna (Ap.ii.436). In a previous birth he gave butter as medicine to the Pacceka Buddha, Sucintita.
