Gavampati was the teacher of Mahānāga, son of Madhu-Vāseṭṭha.² It is said³ that the Serissaka-vimāna, occupied by Gavampati, remained in the Cātummahārājika world even after he had left it. There Gavampati often spent his siesta and held conversations with Pāyāsi, who sent through him a message to the inhabitants of the earth, that they should profit by the example of him (Pāyāsi) and discriminate in the bestowal of their gifts.
