Mahāpaduma2
PersonUn prince de Kumuda-nagara qui, incité par le moine hostile Soṇa, tenta de tuer son propre père et, à l’aide d’un éléphant enivré, tenta en vain de tuer le Bouddha Piyadassī
A prince of Kumuda-nagara. Soṇa Thera — who harboured enmity against Piyadassī Buddha, just as Devadatta did against Gotama — persuaded Paduma to kill his father, and devised various schemes for killing the Buddha, all of which failed. In the end he sent his elephant Doṇamukha, drunk with toddy, to attack the Buddha, who, however, subdued the animal. BuA.174; cp. Ajātasattu.
