Person

형의 조언에 따라 부처님을 위해 보석으로 화려하게 장식한 향실을 짓고 그 헌납식에서 수백만 비구를 대접한 반두마띠의 거사로, 훗날 이 시대에 부호 조띠까로 다시 태어났다

A householder of Bandhumatī. When his elder brother, Sena, left the world and became an Arahant under Vipassī Buddha, Aparājita sought his advice as to how he could use his wealth to perform some act of great merit. He was asked to build a Gandhakuṭi for the Buddha, which he did, using all manner of precious metals and stones and surrounding it with various kinds of luxury, such as perfumed water. The chamber was on three occasions filled knee-deep with jewels to be taken by anyone who came to hear the Buddha teach. At the opening of the Gandhakuṭi, Aparājita entertained 6,800,000 monks for nine months. In this age he was born as the banker Jotika. In an earlier birth he had given sugar-cane to a Pacceka Buddha. DhA.iv.199-207.
