His personal name was Abhaya. His father was the headman of the village Kitti in Rohaṇa, and Theraputtābhaya, when sixteen, wielded a club thirty-eight inches round and sixteen cubits long. He was therefore sent to KāKavaṇṇatissa’s court. Abhaya’s father was a supporter of Mahāsumma and, having heard a discourse from him, became a Sotāpanna, entered the Order and soon afterwards became an arahant. His son, thereupon, came to be called Theraputtābhaya.¹ At the end of Duṭṭhagāmaṇi’s campaigns, Abhaya took leave of the king and joined the Order, became an arahant, and lived with five hundred other arahants.² When Duṭṭhagāmaṇi lay on his deathbed Abhaya visited him and gladdened his heart by reminding him of the works of great merit he had done.³ - [Previous: v1.c22.106](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c22.106) - [Next: v1.c22.108](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c22.108) - [Up: v1.c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c22.107](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c22.107) · Pramāṇa
