Nāgita
PersonUn arahant d’une famille sakya à Kapilavatthu qui entra dans l’Ordre après avoir entendu le Madhupiṇḍika Sutta, et qui, à l’époque du Bouddha Padumuttara, en tant que brahmane nommé Nārada, avait loué le Bouddha en vers.
An Arahant. He belonged to a Sakyan family in Kapilavatthu and entered the Order after hearing the teaching of the Madhupiṇḍika Sutta.
In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a Brahmin, named Nārada, and uttered three stanzas in praise of the Buddha. He was once a king named Sumitta (Thag.vs.86; ThagA.i.183 f). He is probably identical with Atthasandassaka of the Apadāna (Ap.i.169).
