Jātipūjaka

Person

एक अरहंत, जिसने विपस्सी के जन्म पर ज्योतिषियों को यह भविष्यवाणी करते सुना कि वह बालक बुद्ध बनेगा, तो उत्सव मनाते हुए चमेली के फूल अर्पित किए; संभवतः वे समितिगुत्त थेर के ही समान हैं

An Arahant. On the day of Vipassī Buddha’s birth many miracles occurred, and soothsayers predicted that he would be a Buddha. Jātipūjaka, hearing this, offered him jasmine flowers. Three world-cycles ago he became king thirty-four times under the name of Supāricariya (Ap.i.154).

He is probably identical with Samitigutta. ThagA.i.176.
