Vegabbhari v.l. Veṭambarī

Person

一位天神,曾往竹林拜見佛陀,先後誦出一貶一褒苦行的兩首偈頌,據註釋書說後一首是受魔羅所激而說。

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.
