Pulinathūpiya
PersonEin Arahant, der in einem früheren Leben als Asket Nārada eine Sand-Stūpa zur eigenen Verehrung errichtete und in seiner letzten Geburt im Alter von sieben Jahren Arahant wurde, nachdem er sich an jene Vergangenheit erinnert hatte
An Arahant. Once, in the past, he was a Jaṭila named Nārada, with fourteen thousand followers, living near the rock called Samaṅga. He erected, on the bank of the Amarikā, a thūpa of sand as an object of worship for himself.
In his last birth he was of parents who were devout followers of the Buddha and worshipped at a shrine erected in the Buddha’s name. When the boy was seven years old he saw the shrine and, recalling his past, became an Arahant (Ap.ii.437 ff).
He is perhaps to be identified with Vasabha Thera (q.v.) Thag.A.i.258 f.
