Bhadda untranslated

Bhadda 01. A lay disciple of Nādikā who, the Buddha declared, had destroyed the five orambhāgiyasaṁyojanā and had been born in the highest Deva worlds, thence to pass away entirely. DN.ii.92.

Bhadda 02. Bhadda Thera. He was born in the family of a seṭṭhi of Sāvatthī. His parents had gone to the Buddha before his conception, and had told him that if they had a child they would give him to the Buddha as his servant. When he was seven years old, they took him, arrayed in his best, to the Buddha, in fulfilment of their promise. The Buddha asked Ānanda to ordain him. This he did and instructed him, and the same night Bhadda became an Arahant. The Buddha called to him saying, “Come, Bhadda,” and that was his upasampadā.

In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he had offered hundreds of thousands of robes, etc., to the Buddha and his monks. Thag.vss.473-9; Thag­a.i.474f.

Bhadda 03. Bhadda Thera. Perhaps to be identified with Bhadda (2). He is mentioned as staying at the Kukkuṭārāma in Pāṭaliputta in the company of Ānanda, with whom he discussed the righteous and the unrighteous life (SN.v.15f) and the cultivation of the satipaṭṭhānas. SN.v.171f.

Bhadda 04. One of the two chief disciples of Koṇḍañña Buddha. Ja.i.30; Bv.iii.304.

Bhaddā 02. One of the chief women patrons of Kassapa Buddha. Bv.xxv.41.

Bhaddā 03. Wife of King Muṇḍa. At her death the king placed her body in a vessel of oil and mourned for her until his friend Piyaka took him to Nārada Thera at the Kukkuṭārāma, and there made him realize the folly of mourning. AN.iii.57ff.

Bhaddā 04. A woman of Kimbila; she was the wife of Rohaka. She became famous in the city as a virtuous woman (bhadditthī) on account of her goodness and was admired even by the gods. One festival day, while her husband was away in Takkasilā on business, she greatly longed to be with him. The spirit of the house conveyed her thither, and from their union a child was born. Her virtue was doubted by her relations, but she convinced them by arresting a flood with an “Act of Truth.” Her husband was also suspicious, but she convinced him by producing a signet ring, which he had given her in Takkasilā. Thus she became famous through her virtue. After death she was born in Tāvatiṁsa, where she met the Buddha on his visit there, and at his request related to him her story. Vv.ii.5; Vv-a.109ff.
