Udakapūjaka

Person

Un arahant qui, dans une vie antérieure, lança de l’eau en l’air pour l’offrir au Bouddha Padumuttara volant au-dessus de lui, lequel s’arrêta avec compassion pour la recevoir

An Arahant. In a previous birth he saw Padumuttara Buddha journeying through the air and wished to offer him some water. He, therefore, threw some water into the air, which the Buddha, out of compassion, stopped to receive.

Sixty-five world-cycles ago Udakapūjaka became king three times under the name of Sahassarāja (Ap.i.142-3).

He is probably identical with Kuṭivihārī Thera. ThagA.i.129.
