Nisabha untranslated

Nisabha 01. One of the two chief disciples of Anomadassī Buddha (Bv.viii.22; Ja.i.36; Dhp­a.i.88). Pañcasīlasamādāniya Thera took the precepts from him in the time of Anomadassī Buddha. Ap.i.76; also 74 (?).

Nisabha 02. One of the chief lay supporters of Atthadassi Buddha. Bv.xv.21.

Nisabha 03. Also called Mahā Nisabha, chief among the dhutaṅgadharas in the time of Padumuttara Buddha. It was his example that prompted Mahā Kassapa to strive for a similar honour. Thag­a.ii.134f.; SN­a.ii.135f.; AN­a.i.85f.

Nisabha 04. Nisabha Thera. He was born in a Koḷiyan family, and, having seen the Buddha’s wisdom and power in the fight between the Sākiyans and the Koḷiyans, he entered the Saṅgha and became an Arahant. Two verses uttered by him in admonition of a fellow worker are found in the Theragāthā (vs.195f.). In time of Vipassī Buddha he was a householder, and gave to the Buddha a kapiṭṭha fruit (Thag.i.318). He is probably identical with Kapiṭṭhaphaladāyaka of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.449; but see also Thag­a.i.73.

Nisabha 05. A mountain in Himavā. Ja.vi.204, 212; Ap.i.67.

Nisabhā. One of the palaces occupied by Tissa Buddha in his last lay life. Bv.xviii.17.
