Sumitta7

Person

Le fils cadet de Kuntikinnarī qui, ordonné avec son frère Tissa, atteignit l’état d’Arahant et mourut lui-même en marchant méditativement lors de la huitième année du règne d’Asoka, après que son frère fut mort d’une piqûre d’insecte venimeux faute de ghee.

He was the younger son of Kuntikinnarī. He was ordained, with his brother Tissa, by Mahāvaruṇa and attained to Arahantship. Tissa died from the bite of a venomous insect because it proved impossible to get any ghee, though Sumitta went about seeking for some. Sumitta died, while walking in meditation in the Caṅkama-hall, in the eighth year of Asoka’s reign. Mhv.v.213-27.
