Nāgasamāla2
Person《아파다나》에서 앞선 나가사말라와 구별되는 아라한으로, 전생에 시키 부처님의 탑에 꽃을 공양했다고 하며, 주석서에 따르면 그도 한때 부처님의 개인 시자로 봉사했다고 한다.
An Arahant. The Apadāna (Ap.i.119) distinguishes him from the above, whom it calls Ekachattiya. Thirty-one world-cycles ago he placed a pātali flower on the thūpa of Sikhī Buddha. Fifteen world-cycles ago he was a king named Bhūmiya.
The Apadāna Commentary says, however, that this thera was the personal attendant (pacchāsamaṇa = monk who walks behind) of the Buddha for some time and that he was called Nāgasamāla because his body was tender as nāga-buds.
