Cātumāsika-Brahmadatta

Person

Ein König von Bārāṇasī, der beobachtete, wie sich ein Baum über drei Besuche hinweg von kahl zu blühend zu verwelkt wandelte, die Universalität von Verfall und Tod erkannte und zum Pacceka-Buddha wurde.

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.
