Saṅgha4
PersonEin Minister von König Duṭṭhagāmaṇī, der zum Schatzmeister ernannt wurde, nachdem seine großzügigen Almosen die Zustimmung der Schirm-Gottheit fanden; wahrscheinlich derselbe Saṅgha, dem vorausgesagt wurde, Metteyyas oberster Gönner zu werden.
A minister of Duṭṭhagāmaṇī. He gave alms, in circumstances that won applause from the deity of the king’s parasol, to Mahānāga Thera of Koṭagallapabbata, to a monk of Timbarugāma, and to another of Devagirivihāra and Cetiyapabbata. The king sent for him and made him Treasurer. It is probably this same Saṅgha that is mentioned in the Extended Mahāvaṃsa (xxxii.246) as destined to become the chief patron of Metteyya Budda. His wife was Saṅghadattā (q.v.) Ras.ii.75 f, 180.
