Ekapattadāyaka

Person

一位阿罗汉,九十一个劫以前身为汉娑筏底(Haṃsavatī)的陶匠,供养一佛一只精制的陶钵,因此此后常以金银钵盛食,据信即后来的摩诃周那长老(Mahācunda Thera)。

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.
