Buddhasaññaka3
Personシッダッタ仏の時代の隠者で、弟子たちから仏陀の誕生を聞き、会いに行こうとしたが、旅を終える前に病にかかり、信仰に満ちて世を去った。おそらくヴィータソーカ長老と同一人物である。
A hermit in the time of Siddhattha Buddha. Having heard from his pupils of the birth of the Buddha, he set forth from his hermitage to visit him. However, he fell ill while yet one hundred and fifty leagues away, and he died full of faith in the Buddha (Ap.ii.420). He is probably identical with Vītasoka Thera. ThagA.i.295 f.
