**Paccupaṭṭhānasaññaka Thera.**—An arahant. In the time of Atthadassī Buddha he was a yakkha, and, learning that the Buddha had died before he could pay him homage, he was filled with grief. The Buddha's disciple, Sāgara, advised him to honour the Buddha's *thūpa*, and this he did for five years. Seven kappas ago he became king four times under the name of Bhūripañña.¹ He is probably identical with Ekūdāniya Thera.²
