Vegabbhari v.l. Veṭambarī

Person

Божество, посетившее Будду в Бамбуковой роще и произнёсшее две противоречащие друг другу строфы — одну, осуждающую аскетизм, и другую, восхваляющую его, причём последняя, как говорят, была внушена Марой.

One of a group of devas who visited the Buddha at Veḷuvana and spoke of their beliefs. Vegabbhari spoke two verses, one condemning asceticism, and the other, which followed immediately on the first, in praise of the same (S.i.65, 67). The Commentary says (SA.i.100) that the second verse was inspired by Māra.
