Samuddapāla (Samudrapāla) Son of śrāvaka Pāliya of Campā. Since he was born in the sea (samudda = samudra), he was named Samuddapāla. His father procured him a beautiful wife with whom he amused himself in his pleasant palace. Once he saw from the window of his palace a man sentenced to death and dressed for execution, on his way to the place of execution. Disgusted by what he saw he renounced the world at once and entered the state of houselessness. Having annihilated his karman he attained emancipation.¹
