Person

미륵불 시대에 케투마티를 다스릴 미래의 전륜성왕으로, 후에 왕국을 버리고 아라한이 될 것이다.

A future king, who will be the Cakkavatti of Ketumatī at the time of the appearance of Metteyya Buddha in the world. He will raise up again the palace of King Mahāpanāda and live there. However, later he will give it to the Order and become an Arahant. D.iii.75 f; Anāgat. p.42 (vs. 10).

According to the Commentary (DA.iii.856), he was one of two cane workers (nalakārā), father and son, who made a hut for a Pacceka Buddha. After death, both were born in heaven. The son became Mahāpanāda, and, later, Bhaddaji. The father is in the deva world and will be reborn as Saṅkha. Mahāpanāda’s palace still remains un-destroyed, ready for his use.
