2. Mātaṅga.—A Pacceka Buddha.¹ He was the last of the Pacceka Buddhas and lived near Rājagaha. At the last birth of the Bodhisatta the devas, on their way to do him honour, saw Mātaṅga and told him, “Sir, the Buddha has appeared in the world.” Mātaṅga heard this as he was issuing from a trance, and, going to Mount Mahāpapāta where Pacceka Buddhas die, he passed away.²
