4. Nisabha Thera.—He was born in a Koliyan family, and, having seen the Buddha’s wisdom and power in the fight between the Sākyans and the Koliyans, he entered the Order and became an arahant. Two verses uttered by him in admonition of a fellow-worker are found in the Theragāthā.¹ In time of Vipassī Buddha he was a householder, and gave to the Buddha a *kapittha*-fruit.² He is probably identical with Kapitthaphaladāyaka of the Apadāna.³
