Ajita6
PersonUn thera, probablement le même personnage connu ailleurs sous le nom d’Ajita-mānava, qui alluma une lampe devant le Bouddha du passé Padumuttara et, en conséquence, jouit d’un bonheur céleste pendant des dizaines de milliers de cycles cosmiques avant de devenir disciple de Bāvarī et arhat.
Thera (Ap.i.335 ff), probably to be identified with Ajita (5), but the story of his past differs completely from that of Ajita-māṇava given in the Theragāthā Commentary. In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he lit a lamp in front of the Enlightened One. As a result of this he enjoyed happiness in heaven for 60,000 world-cycles, and when he was born from Tusita in this Buddha-age there was a great light on the day of his birth. He is stated to have been a disciple of Bāvarī (Ap.i.337, 28), but he heard of the Buddha while in Himavā. Later he became an Arahant.
