Nāgadatta untranslated

Nāgadatta 01. Nāgadatta Thera. He once lived in a forest tract in Kosala and was inclined to be indolent. A Deva, noticing this, admonished him, and it is said that Nāgadatta paid heed to the warning. SN.i.200.

Nāgadatta 02. A Deva, living, according to one account, in Kelāsapabbata (SN­a.i.217); according to another, in Gandhamādana (Thag­a.i.138; AN­a.i.139). Anuruddha, when residing in the Chaddanta vana, used to pass by his dwelling, and the Deva gave him milk-rice with lotus honey. When Sīvalī visited Gandhamādana with five hundred monks, the Deva gave them milk-rice one day and clarified butter the next. When the monks inquired how he could get milk and ghee, he told them that this was the result of a gift of milk-rice given by him in the time of Kassapa Buddha.
