Jambugāmika Thera untranslated

Jambugāmika Thera (Jambugāmiya Thera). He was born at Campā, his father bearing the same name as himself (he was probably chief of Jambugāma). He joined the Saṅgha and dwelt in the Añjanavana in Sāketa. One day, in order to test him, his father sent him a verse, and he, realising his imperfections, became an Arahant (Thag.28; Thag­a.i.86f).

In the time of Vessabhū Buddha he threw three kiṁsuka-flowers into the air as an offering to the Buddha.

He is probably identical with Kiṁsukapupphiya of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.435; but see Somamitta.
