Mandāravapūjaka Thera untranslated

Mandāravapūjaka Thera. An Arahant. In the time of Sikhī Buddha he was a Devaputta, and offered the Buddha some mandārava-flowers, which remained like a canopy over the Buddha’s head for seven days. Ten kappas ago he was a king named Jutindhara (Ap.i.178). He is probably identical with Usabha Thera. Thag­a.i.219.
