Seniya
Seniya:1.Seniya. A naked ascetic who practised the ”Canine vow,” behaving like a dog.After his visit to the Buddha,as recorded in the Kukkuravatika Sutta (q.v.),he joined the Order and,in due course,became an arahant.M.i.387ff.
2.Seniya. The personal name,according to Buddhaghosa,of King Bimbisāra (MA.i.292; but see SNA.ii.448,mahatiyā senāya samannāgatattā),who is almost always referred to as Seniya Bimbisāra.Dhammapāla says (UdA.104),however,that Bimbisāra was called Seniya either because he had a large army,or because he belonged to the Seniya-gotta (mahatiyā senāya samannāgātatta vā Seniyagottatā vā).
