**Corābhaya.**—A brigand, who set up his stronghold between **Anurādhapura** and **Cetiyagiri.** He once came with his followers to plunder Cetiyagiri monastery, but **Dīghabhāṇaka-Abhaya Thera** (*q.v.*), hearing of his intentions, gave orders that the robbers should be given a meal of the monastery food. This so pleased Corābhaya that from that time he undertook to provide safe passage for all pilgrims to Cetiyagiri.¹
