**Dattābhaya.**—A monk, elder brother of the Catunikāyika Thera of **Kolita-vihāra**. Abhaya lived in **Potaliya-vihāra** and once, when ill, sent for his brother and asked for a formula of meditation easy to practise. The latter suggested meditation on food, and Dattābhaya became an arahant.¹ He is described as strong in appetites and dislikes, but intelligent and keen in understanding.²
