2. Nāgadatta.—A deva, living, according to one account,¹ in Kelāsapabbata; according to another,² in Gandhamādana. Anuruddha, when residing in the Chaddantavana, used to pass by his dwelling, and the deva gave him milk-rice with lotus-honey. When Sīvalī visited Gandhamādana with five hundred monks, the deva gave them milk-rice one day and clarified butter the next. When the monks inquired how he could get milk and ghee, he told them that this was the result of a gift of milk-rice given by him in the time of Kassapa Buddha.
