Cātumāsika-Brahmadatta
PersonUn roi de Bārāṇasī qui, observant un arbre passer de nu à fleuri puis flétri au cours de trois visites, réalisa l’universalité du déclin et de la mort et devint un Bouddha Pacceka.
A king of Bārāṇasī. Going to his park in the early summer, he rested under a kovilāra-tree which was thickly covered with leaves. Going again in midsummer, he found it full of blossom. On his third visit, at the end of the season, the tree was bare and withered, and, lying under it, he realised that decay and death are the common lot of all. He thereupon became a Pacceka Buddha. His verse of exhaltation (udāna) is included in the Khaggavisāṇa Sutta. SN.vs.44; SNA.i.90 f; Ap.i.9 (vs.18); ApA.i.141 f.
