Uttiya3
PersonEin Sakyer aus Kapilavatthu, der bekehrt wurde, als der Buddha seine Verwandten besuchte, und der, nachdem sein Geist während eines Almosengangs kurz durch den Gesang einer Frau abgelenkt worden war, so ernsthaft strebte, dass er die Arahantschaft erlangte.
He was a Sakyan of Kapilavatthu. When the Buddha visited his kinsmen and showed them his power, Uttiya was converted and entered the Order. One day, while begging in the village, he heard a woman singing and his mind was disturbed. Checking himself, he entered the vihāra much agitated and spent the siesta, seated, striving with such earnestness that he won Arahantship (Thag.v.99; ThagA.i.202-3).
In the time of Sumedha Buddha he was a householder and gave to the Buddha a bed, complete with canopy and rug.
Twenty world-cycles ago he was three times king under the name of Suvannābha.
He is probably identical with Pallaṅkadāyaka of the Apadāna (Ap.i.175).
