Pessa
Person仏陀との対話がカンダラカ・スッタに記録されており、それに深く感銘を受けた仏陀が、もっと長く留まっていれば貴重なものを得られただろうと述べたという、チャンパーの調象師。
An elephant-trainer of Campā.
He visited the Buddha at Gaggarā-pokkharaṇī where Kandaraka was also present, and his conversation on that occasion is recorded in the Kandaraka Sutta. When Pessa had left, the Buddha is reported to have said that he was a man of great understanding, and that had he stayed longer he could have taken away with him something which would have proved precious to him. M.i.339-42.
