### [v1.c24.365](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c24.365)

Dhammasava-pitā.—Father of Dhammasava. He was one hundred and twenty years old when his son joined the Order and, being impressed by his son’s renunciation while yet young, he followed his example and soon after became an arahant. Once, in the past, he saw a Pacceka Buddha on the Bhūta-gaṇa mountain, and honoured him with tiṇasūla-flowers. Eleven kappas ago he was a king called Dharaṇīpati (Dharaṇiruha).¹ He is probably identical with Tiṇasūlaka of the Apadāna.²
