Paccaya Thera.—An arahant. He belonged to a noble family of Rohī (Rohiṇī) and succeeded to his father’s estate. Once, when he was holding a ceremonial oblation, a great number of people assembled, and the Buddha, arriving among them, preached from the sky, seated in a jewelled pavilion made for him by Vessavaṇa. Paccaya heard the preaching and renounced the world, attaining arahantship in a few days, and not leaving his cell till he had developed insight. - [Previous: v2.c27.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.95) - [Next: v2.c27.97](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.97) - [Up: v2.c27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.96](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.96) · Pramāṇa
