Devala4
PersonАскет в Химаване, который ещё до рождения Будды Падумуттары построил святилище и совершал подношения в ожидании его прихода, а позже переродился в мире Брахмы как прежнее существование старца Сириматтхеры
An ascetic in Himavā. He lived before the time of Padumuttara Buddha, who was yet in Tusita, but realising in his mind the qualities of previous Buddhas, Devala built a cetiya on the bank of a river and made offerings to it in the name of the Buddha. Later, he was born in the Brahma-world. He was a previous birth of Sirimatthera (Pulinuppādaka).
