Sīha Thera.—He was born in the family of a rājā in the Malla country and visited the Buddha. The Buddha preached to him a sermon suitable to him temperament, and he entered the Order. He lived in the forest in meditation, but his thoughts were distracted. The Buddha, seeing this, went through the air and spoke to him alone, asking him to persevere. Thus incited, he strove hard and attained arahantship. - [Previous: v2.c36.3180](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3180) - [Next: v2.c36.3182](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3182) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3181](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3181) · Pramāṇa
