Udakapūjaka

Person

過去世に、頭上を飛翔していた Padumuttara 仏に供養しようと水を空中に投げた阿羅漢で、仏陀は慈悲深くも立ち止まってそれを受けた

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.
