An Arahant. In the time of Dipaṅkara Buddha he was a young man named Megha, and on hearing the Buddha’s declaration regarding Sumedha, he entered the Order under the latter. However, owing to wrong association, he left the Order and murdered his mother. For this he suffered in Avīci and was later born as a fish. One day he heard some shipwrecked sailors calling on the name of Gotama Buddha for protection, and, remembering Dipaṅkara’s prophecy, the fish died. He was then born in Sāvatthi, and hearing the Buddha teach at Jetavana, he entered the Order and became an Arahant. Ap.ii.429 f.
