Saṅgharakkhita.—A novice, nephew of Mahānāga Thera. He became an arahant in the Tonsure-hall, and, having discovered that no other monk had made the Vejayanta-pāsāda tremble, on the very day he became an arahant, the novice, standing on it, tried in vain to shake it. The nymphs within laughed at him. Discomfited, he sought his teacher, who was spending his siesta in a cave on the edge of the ocean, and, having consulted him, he returned to Vejayanta. The nymphs again laughed at him, but he made a resolve that the space on which Vejayanta stood should turn into water. When this happened, he touched the pinnacle of the palace with his toe and it rocked till the nymphs begged for mercy.¹ - [Previous: v2.c36.521](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.521) - [Next: v2.c36.523](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.523) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.522](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.522) · Pramāṇa
