Ugga5
PersonUn ancien, fils d’un banquier d’une ville du Kosala, qui atteignit l’état d’Arahant peu après son entrée dans l’Ordre en entendant le Bouddha enseigner à Bhaddārāma.
An elder. He was the son of a banker in Ugga, in the Kosala country. When the Buddha was staying in the Bhaddārāma there, Ugga heard him teach and entered the Order. Soon afterwards he became an Arahant.¹⁷
He had been a householder in the time of Sikhī Buddha and offered him a ketaka-flower. As a result, he was born twelve times as king. He is probably to be identified with Sudassana Thera of the Apadāna.¹⁸
