Todeyya.—A Mahāsāla brahmin, mentioned in a list of eminent brahmins gathered together at Icchanaṅkala and Manasākaṭa.¹ Buddhaghosa says² that his permanent residence was at Tuḍigāma; hence his name. He was, very probably, the father of Subha, who is called Todeyyaputta.³ Subha's father was, we know, chaplain to Pasenadi and, though exceedingly rich, was a great miser; after death he was born in his own house as a dog of whom Subha was very fond. When the Buddha visited Subha the dog barked, and the Buddha chided it, addressing it by the name of Todeyya. - [Previous: v1.c21.930](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.930) - [Next: v1.c21.932](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.932) - [Up: v1.c21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.931](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c21.931) · Pramāṇa
