Cittaka Thera.—Son of a wealthy brahmin of Rājagaha. He heard the Buddha preach at Veḷuvana and, having entered the Order, practised meditation in a wooded spot, ultimately achieving arahantship. In the time of Vipassī Buddha he offered him flowers in homage.¹ He is probably identical with Tiṇikiṅkinipupphiya Thera of the Apadāna.²
