Nāgapupphiya

Person

파두뭇따라 붓다 시대에 브라만 스승이었으며, 붓다가 공중을 나는 것을 보고 경탄하여 그 길에 나가 꽃을 뿌린 아라한. 아마도 담마사와 장로와 동일 인물일 것이다.

An Arahant. In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a Brahmin teacher, named Suvaccha. One day he saw the Buddha travelling through the air and, marvelling at the miracle, sprinkled nāga flowers along his route. Thirty-one world-cycles ago he was a king named Mahāratha (Ap.i.179). He is probably identical with Dhammasava Thera. ThagA.i.214.
