A minister of Duṭṭhagāmaṇī. When the latter fled from Saddhā Tissa, Tissa joined him and he gave him his own food during the flight. However, the food was ultimately given to a monk (see Tissa 26) who accepted their invitation to the meal.³⁷ It was probably the mother of this Tissa who, we are told,³⁸ used a cloth worth one hundred to wipe away the impurities of her son’s birth, which cloth she afterwards threw out on to the Tālavelimagga hoping that it might prove useful to a rag-robe wearing monk (pāṃsukūlika).
