Sugandha Thera.—He belonged to a rich family of Sāvatthi. In the past he had smeared the Gandhakuti of Kassapa Buddha with costly sandalwood paste and had desired that he might be reborn with a fragrant body: therefore he, on the day of his birth, and his mother, while she carried him, filled the house with fragrance—hence his name. When he grew up, he heard Mahāsela Thera preach and entered the Order, attaining arahantship in seven days. - [Previous: v2.c36.3366](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3366) - [Next: v2.c36.3368](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3368) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3367](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.3367) · Pramāṇa
