Ekapattadāyaka

Person

九十一劫前にハンサヴァティーの陶工として、ある仏陀に精巧な土鉢を捧げ、その結果それ以来常に金銀の鉢で食事をしたという阿羅漢で、後のマハーチュンダ長老と同一人物とされる。

An Arahant. In the past, ninety-one world-cycles ago, he was a potter of Haṃsavatī, and once gave a well-made bowl of clay to the Buddha. As a result, he always had his food in gold and silver bowls (Ap.ii.444).

He is probably identical with Mahācunda Thera. See ThagA.i.262.
