**1. Uparevata.**—A sāmaṇera, son of Padumuttara Buddha. It was the sight of this novice which made Rāhula, then born as the Nāga-king Saṅkha, wish to become a Buddha’s son.¹ According to the *Buddhavamsa*,² however, Padumuttara’s son was called Uttara. Uparevata, though very young in years (*taruṇalalitadāraka*), was possessed of great *iddhi*-powers and the Nāga-king was greatly impressed by him.³
