Gopāla5
PersonMột thiên tử cõi Đao-lợi từng bố thí cho Đức Phật Kassapa ở tiền kiếp nhưng không đạt được thành tựu đặc biệt nào, cho đến khi Đại Mục-kiền-liên đến giảng dạy thì trở thành bậc Dự lưu.
A devaputta of Tāvatiṃsa. He was the teacher of Uracchadā-mālā and gave alms to the Buddha Kassapa and the monks; he heard the Dhamma but could get no special attainment. Mahā-Moggallāna met him during a visit to Tāvatiṃsa and, in answer to the elder’s questions, Gopāla gave an account of himself. Moggallāna thereupon taught him and he became a Stream-winner (sotāpanna). Vv.v.14; VvA.270 ff.
