Person

Vị Phật Độc Giác qua đời trong đau đớn tột cùng sau khi một người ném đá lành nghề dùng viên sỏi xuyên thủng tai ngài trong lúc ngài đi khất thực, sự việc này cũng gắn liền với việc con trai vua Kitavassa xứ Bārāṇasī đã tỏ ra khinh miệt ngài.

A Pacceka Buddha. A man who had learnt the art of pelting stones with great skill, from the cripple of the Sālittaka Jātaka (q.v.), looking for a target for testing his skill, saw Sunetta entering the city for alms and aimed a pebble at his ear. The pebble went into one ear and out at the other, and the Pacceka Buddha died after suffering great pain. Men, who saw this, killed the stone-thrower, and, after a sojourn in Avīci, he became a sledgehammer ghost on Vultures’ Peak (Gijjhakūṭa) (DhA.ii.71 f; Pv.iv.16; PvA.283 f).

On another occasion, the son of Kitavassa, king of Bārāṇasī, saw Sunetta begging for alms, and, angered that he did not do him homage, took the begging bowl from Sunetta’s hand and dashed it to the ground. Pv.iii.2; iv.7; PvA.177 f., 264.
