Citta4

Person

斯里兰卡的一位长老,晚年出家后疯狂爱恋达弥罗提维王后,即使闻其死讯仍不肯相信,因而得名疯狂质多。

A Thera of Sri Lanka. King Mahādāṭhika Mahā-nāga had a young and beautiful queen, named Damiḷadevī. One day, when she was worshipping at the Ambatthala at Cetiyagiri, Citta, who had joined the Order in his old age, fell in love with her and behaved as one mad, constantly repeating to himself “beautiful as Damiḷadevī.” Even when told of her death, which took place soon after, he refused to believe the news and continued as before; he became, therefore, known as Ummattaka Citta. AA.i.13.
