Rājagahaseṭṭhi.—Evidently not a proper name, but the title of the Treasurer of Rājagaha.¹ In the time of the Buddha, the seṭṭhi was the brother-in-law of Anāthapiṇḍika and was a devout follower of the Buddha; he was responsible for the meeting between the Buddha and Anāthapiṇḍika.² He had a slave-girl named Puṇṇā³ and a slave Puṇṇa, who later became a seṭṭhi, and whose daughter, Uttarā, was given in marriage to the son of the Rājagahaseṭṭhi. This latter was an unbeliever, but was later converted and became a sotāpanna.⁴
