Kumbhīra untranslated

Kumbhīra. A Yakkha who lived in the Vepulla mountain outside Rājagaha. He was present at the preaching of the Mahā Samayasutta with a train of over one hundred thousand (DN.ii.257).

He is called Rājagahika because he was born in Rājagaha (DN­a.ii.686). Sometimes (e.g., Ja.vi.272) he is spoken of as chief of the Kumbhaṇḍas.

When Bimbisāra wished to visit the courtesan Padumavatī at Ujjenī, the chaplain enlisted Kumbhīra’s assistance in transporting the king thither (Thīg­a.39).
