Saṅgha4

Person

Duṭṭhagāmaṇī王の大臣で、その気前の良い布施が傘蓋の神の承認を得たため財務長官に任じられた人物。弥勒の第一外護者となると予言されたSaṅghaと同一人物である可能性が高い。

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.
