Saṅgha4

Person

Un ministre du roi Duṭṭhagāmaṇī, nommé trésorier après que sa générosité en aumônes eut gagné l’approbation de la divinité du parasol ; probablement le même Saṅgha annoncé comme futur principal bienfaiteur de Metteyya.

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.
