Uttara10

Person

राजा पसेनदि का निजी सेवक एक युवक, जिसे बुद्ध ने भोजन में संयम विषयक एक गाथा सिखाई, जिसे राजा के हर भोजन के समय पढ़ना था।

A youth, evidently a personal attendant of Pasenadi. The Buddha taught him a stanza to be recited whenever the king sat down to a meal. The stanza spoke of the merits of moderation in eating. DhA.iv.17; but see S.i.81-2 for a different version of what is evidently the same incident. There the youth is called Sudassana.
