Suyāma4
PersonAlso known as Suyāmana
Ein Brahmane aus Vesāli, gelehrt in den drei Veden, der genau in dem Moment, als ihm bei seinem Eintritt in den Orden der Kopf geschoren wurde, die Arahantschaft erlangte
He belonged to a brahmin family of Vesāli and was expert in the three Vedas. He saw and heard the Buddha at Vesāli, and, having entered the Order, attained Arahantship while his head was being shaved.
Ninety-one world-cycles ago he was a brahmin of Dhaññavatī, and, having invited Vipassī Buddha to his house, gave him a seat spread with flowers. He was once a king, called Varadassana (Thag.74; ThagA.i.165 f). He is evidently identical with Kusumāsaniya Thera of the Apadāna. Ap.i.160.
