Mahānāga13
PersonA monk who remained unharmed in deep meditative absorption when his mother’s house caught fire around him, and who then flew off to Piyaṅgudīpa to avoid the resulting fame.
He once went to his mother’s house for alms and while sitting there entered into trance. The house caught fire and all the others fled. When the fire was put out the Thera was discovered unhurt, and the villagers did him great honour. Finding his attainments discovered, he rose into the air and went to Piyaṅgudīpa. Vism.706.
