3. Sunetta.—A Pacceka Buddha. A man who had learnt the art of pelting stones with great skill, from the cripple of the Sālittaka Jātaka (q.v.), looking for a target for testing his skill, saw Sunetta entering the city for alms and aimed a pebble at his ear. The pebble went into one ear and out at the other, and the Pacceka Buddha died after suffering great pain. Men, who saw this, killed the stone-thrower, and, after a sojourn in Avici, he became a sledgehammer ghost in Gijjhakūṭa.¹
