Ekāsanadāyaka Thera.—An arahant. In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was an ascetic named Nārada-Kassapa, living near the mountain Kosika. Once he saw the Buddha walking through the forest, and having provided him with a seat, spoke words in praise of him. The Buddha preached to him a short sermon. Fifty times Ekāsanadāyaka became king of the gods and eighty times he ruled over men. Wherever he wished he could find a seat, even in the forest or in a river.¹ - [Previous: v1.c10.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c10.167) - [Next: v1.c10.169](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c10.169) - [Up: v1.c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c10.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c10.168) · Pramāṇa
