Kanhadinna Thera
Kanhadinna Thera:An arahant.He belonged to a brahmin family in Rājagaha.Having heard Sāriputta preach,he entered the Order and became an arahant.In the past he met the Buddha Sobhita and offered him a punnāga-flower (Thag.v.179; ThagA.i.304).
He is evidently the same as Kanhadinna,son of Bhāradvāja Thera (ThagA.i.303),and is probably identical with Giripunnāgiya of the Apadāna (ii.416).
