Heraññakāni Thera untranslated

Heraññakāni Thera. He was the son of an official of the king of Kosala who turned bandit. On his father’s death he succeeded to his place. He was present when the Buddha accepted Jetavana, and, filled with wonder, he entered the Saṅgha, where he soon attained Arahant-ship. Later he persuaded his brother too, with some difficulty, to become a monk.

In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a labourer (bhataka), and seeing the Buddha’s disciple, Sujāta, looking for rags for his robe, gave him half a garment (Thag.vs.145-6; Thag­a.i.266f).

He is evidently identical with Upaḍḍhadussadāyaka of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.435f.
