Cittagutta.\*\*—An Elder living in the Kuraṇḍaka Cave. In the cave was a beautiful painting of the Renunciation of the Seven Buddhas, but he never saw it, though he lived there for sixty years. Three times the king sent for him, but he refused to go until the king decreed that no infant in the country should suck milk until the Elder should visit the palace. He dwelt in the palace for seven days and always pronounced the same blessing, no matter who saluted him: "May the king be happy." On the Elder's return to the cave, the deity in the ironwood tree outside stood holding a torch and the Elder attained arahantship.¹ It may be the same Elder who is mentioned elsewhere² as having developed tejo-kasiṇa on regarding the flame of a lamp on his return to the vihāra after listening to the Dhamma, and again pīta-kasiṇa when he saw on Cittalapabbata a seat spread with pattaṅga-flowers. - [Previous: v1.c16.580](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.580) - [Next: v1.c16.582](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.582) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.581](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.581) · Pramāṇa
