Paccaya untranslated

01. Paccaya 01 untranslated

Paccaya 01. Paccaya Thera. An Arahant. He belonged to a noble family of Rohī (Rohiṇī) and succeeded to his father’s estate. Once, when he was holding a ceremonial oblation, a great number of people assembled, and the Buddha, arriving among them, preached from the sky, seated in a jewelled pavilion made for him by Vessavaṇa. Paccaya heard the preaching and renounced the world, attaining Arahant-ship in a few days, and not leaving his cell till he had developed insight.

It is said that in the time of Kassapa Buddha, Paccaya was a monk who refused to leave the vihāra till he gained insight, but he died before his purpose was fulfilled. Earlier, ninety-one kappas ago, he had come across the Vipassī Buddha, on the banks of the Vinatā, and had offered him a fig (udumbara) (Thag. vss. 222-4; Thag­a.i.341f). He is probably identical with Udumbaraphaladāyaka of the Apadāna. Ap.i.295.
