Ajjuna
PersonFils d’un conseiller de Sāvatthi qui, insatisfait après avoir d’abord rejoint les Nigaṇṭhas, fut conquis par le Double Miracle du Bouddha, entra dans l’Ordre et atteignit l’état d’arahant.
Son of a councillor of Sāvatthi. In his youth he first joined the Order of the Nigaṇṭhā; being dissatisfied, he was won over by the Buddha’s Twin-miracle and, entering the Order, reached Arahantship (Thag.v.88; ThagA.i.186). He is evidently to be identified with Sālapupphiya Thera of the Apadāna (i.169).
In Vipassī Buddha’s time he was born as a lion and gave the Buddha a flowering branch of a sala-tree.
He was also once a Cakkavattī, named Verocana.
