Person

आरद्धविपस्सक-तिस्स नाम से प्रसिद्ध एक भिक्षु, जिसने सूर्योदय के समय कमल खिलते देखते हुए एक दासी का मृत्यु संबंधी गीत सुनकर अनित्यता के सत्य से आहत होकर विपश्यना विकसित की और अरहंतत्व प्राप्त किया।

A monk known as Āraddhavipassaka-Tissa. While walking about he saw a lotus open at the rising of the sun. Immediately afterwards, he heard a slave-girl singing; her song told of how men are subject to death just as the lotus opens to the sun. Tissa thereupon developed insight and became an Arahant.³¹
