Susīma4

Person

एक देवता, जिसने आनंद को सारिपुत्त की प्रशंसा करते सुनकर हर शब्द की पुष्टि की, और जिसके परिवार ने मंत्रमुग्ध होकर सुना।

A devaputta. Once, when Ānanda utters high praise of Sāriputta, Susīma, who is present, reflects on it and confirms all that Ānanda has said. The retinue of Susīma listen enraptured, waxing wondrous, in divers colour-tones (“even as a beautiful lustrous beryl-stone of eight facets, well polished, when laid in an orange coloured cloth, shines, glows and blazes, etc.”) (S.163 f).

It is said (SA.i.98) that Susīma had been a fellow celibate of Sāriputta.
