In the time of Padumuttara Buddha, Bhaddaji was a brahmin ascetic who, seeing the Buddha travelling through the air, offered him honey, lotus-stalks, etc. Soon after he was struck by lightning and reborn in Tusita. In the time of Vipassī Buddha he was a very rich seṭṭhi and fed sixty-eight thousand monks, to each of whom he gave three robes. Later, he ministered to five hundred Pacceka Buddhas. In a subsequent birth his son was a Pacceka Buddha, and he looked after him and built a cetiya over his remains after his death.²
