Ramanīyakutika Thera
Ramanīyakutika Thera:An arahant.He was a nobleman of Vesāli and left the world after hearing the Buddha preach the Ratana Sutta.After ordination,he dwelt in a pleasant hut in a beautiful forest,where he won arahantship.One day some women tried to tempt him,but in vain (Thag.58; ThagA.i.122f.).
His first desire to attain liberation was made in the time of Padumuttara Buddha.Later he gave a beautiful seat to Atthadassī Buddha and offered him flowers in homage.One hundred and seventy kappas ago he was a king named Sandimā (Sannibbāpaka).He is probably identical with Asanūpatthāyaka of the Apadāna.Ap.i.144.
