Person

마두핀디카 경을 듣고 출가한 카필라밧투의 사캬 가문 아라한으로, 파두뭇타라 부처님 시대에는 나라다라는 바라문으로서 게송으로 부처님을 찬양한 적이 있다.

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).
