Iṭṭiya untranslated

Iṭṭiya (v.l. Ittiya, Iddhiya). Also spelt Iṭṭhiya, one of the monks who accompanied Mahinda on his visit to Ceylon (Mhv.xii.7; Dpv.xii.12; Vin-a.i.71; Mbv.116; Dhs­a.32).

King Sirimeghavaṇṇa had an image of Iṭṭhiya made and placed beside that of Mahinda and his companions in the vihāra which he built in the south-eastern corner of his palace. He inaugurated a year’s festival in honour of these images (Cv.xxxvii.vv.87ff)
