Arindama2

Person

Ein König zur Zeit des Buddha Sumana, der Streitende in der Frage des Aufhörens zum Buddha führte, die alle nach dem Hören seiner Lehre die Arahantschaft erlangten.

King in the time of Sumana Buddha. A great dispute had arisen at this time regarding cessation (nirodha) and all the inhabitants of many thousand world systems were divided into two camps. In order to settle their doubts, the disputants, with Arindama at their head, sought the Buddha. The Buddha sat on Mount Yugandhara while Arindama, with his nine hundred thousand million followers, sat on a golden rock, which by the power of his merit had sprung from the earth near Saṅkassa. The Buddha taught them, and at the end of the discourse they all became Arahants. BuA.128-9.
