Cūlasumana Thera.—An Elder of Ceylon, master of the Tipiṭaka and a well-known commentator. His explanation, given at Lohapāsāda, of the meaning of ubhatobhāgavimutta is regarded as the most authoritative interpretation.¹ The Visuddhimagga² also mentions a Cūlasumana, resident at Niṅkaponnakapadhānaghara on Cittalapabbata. He had discarded desire, and therefore the thought arose in him that he was a saint. - [Previous: v1.c16.1043](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1043) - [Next: v1.c16.1045](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1045) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1044](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1044) · Pramāṇa
