Having heard the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta from Tissa Thera of Ambalena, he was on his way back when he met a wild elephant. By his virtue the elephant was subdued and Tissamahānāga took shelter from a storm under the elephant's body. There he developed arahantship. He then went to Viyoḷaka-vihāra with the elephant, and for thirty years the animal waited on him. After death the monk's remains were cremated at Kuṭumbiya Vihāra, and the elephant participated in the celebrations.¹ - [Previous: v2.c38.287](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.287) - [Next: v2.c38.289](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.289) - [Up: v2.c38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.288](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c38.288) · Pramāṇa
