Catunikāyika-Tissa.—A monk of Ceylon. He lived in the Kolitavihāra, while his elder brother, Dattābhaya, lived in the Potaliyavihāra. Once Tissa fell ill and, sending for his brother, asked for a brief formula for meditation. Dattābhaya recommended meditation on kabaliṅkāhāra and Tissa soon became an arahant.¹ His teacher was Mahātipiṭakatthera.²
