Uttara10

Person

波斯匿王的一位侍從青年,佛陀教他一首關於飲食有度的偈頌,令其在國王每次用膳時誦唸。

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.
