Candanamāliya Thera.—An arahant. He was a brahmin who entered the Order at the age of five, becoming an arahant in the tonsure-hall. In the time of Sumedha Buddha he was an ascetic who had renounced great wealth. Having met the Buddha, he offered him a seat and gave him mangoes, sandalwood and sāla-flowers. He was once king of the city of Vebhāra.¹ He is probably identical with Valliya Thera.²
