Saṅgha4
Person國王 Duṭṭhagāmaṇī 的一位大臣,因佈施善行得王傘守護神讚許而被擢升為財務大臣,很可能就是預言中未來彌勒佛的首席護法。
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.
