While travelling through the air he heard the daughter of the artisan of Girigāma singing, after having bathed with her companions in a lotus-pond. Being attracted by the sound, he lost his power of travelling through the air.¹ 42. Tissa.—A novice of Tissamahā-vihāra. He complained to his teacher of his distaste for the Order and the latter took him to Cittalapabbata. There, with great effort, Tissa built for himself a cave and while lying there during the night, became an arahant, dying the next day. A thūpa called the Tissa-thera-cetiya was erected over his relics and this was still in existence in Buddhaghosa’s day.¹ - [Previous: v1.c21.737](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.737) - [Next: v1.c21.739](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.739) - [Up: v1.c21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.738](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.738) · Pramāṇa
