Anitthigandhakumāra4

Person

一位辟支佛,波罗奈王之子,与前则情节相似——未婚妻于赴婚途中身故,他因悲恸而深入禅思,终证辟支佛果;其偈颂之一收于 Khaggavisāṇa Sutta。

A Pacceka Buddha. He was the son of the King of Bārāṇasī. In a previous birth he had been a monk for 20,000 years, during the dispensation of Kassapa Buddha. His story is very similar to that of No.3 above, the wife chosen being the daughter of Maddava, King of Sāgala. When the princess died, on her way to be married, the prince gave himself up to contemplation and became a Pacceka Buddha (SnA.67 ff; ApA.i.126-7). A stanza attributed to him is included in the Khaggavisāṇa Sutta. Sn.p.6, v.36.
