Vijitasena3
PersonCon trai của một người huấn luyện voi xứ Kosala, xuất gia dưới sự dẫn dắt của các người chú huấn luyện voi sau khi chứng kiến Song thông của Đức Phật, chứng quả A-la-hán và để lại những bài kệ về voi trong Trưởng Lão Kệ.
He was born in the family of an elephant-trainer of Kosala, and had two maternal uncles, Sena and Upasena, who were also elephant-trainers and had joined the Order. He saw the Buddha’s Twin Miracle and entered the Order under his uncles, attaining Arahantship in due course. In the time of Atthadassī Buddha he was a hermit and gave the Buddha some fruit (ThagA.i.424 f).
Several verses uttered by him in self-admonition, in which he displays his knowledge of elephant craft, are included in the Theragāthā. Thag. vss. 355-9
He is probably identical with Bhallātakadāyaka of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.398.
