Ti-kaṇikārapupphiya Thera.—An arahant. He was once a vijjādhara, and, having seen the Buddha Sumedha flying through the air, offered him three flowers which remained suspended above the Buddha’s head. He was reborn as a deva in a palace in Tāvatiṃsa called Kaṇikāra.¹ He is probably identical with Uttara Thera.²
