In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he had been a garland-maker of Haṃsavatī. Once while he was picking lotuses in a pond, the Buddha appeared before him with numerous disciples. The garland-maker picked a lotus and threw it up into the air, wishing it to remain above the Buddha’s head; by the Buddha’s power it did thus remain. As a result, the garland-maker was reborn in Tāvatiṃsa in a palace named Satapatta. A thousand times he was king of the devas and five hundred times king of men.¹ - [Previous: v1.c9.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.52) - [Next: v1.c9.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.54) - [Up: v1.c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.53) · Pramāṇa
