Phagguna untranslated

Phagguna 01. A monk. In the Saṁyuttanikāya (SN.iv.52) he is represented as asking the Buddha if it were possible, by means of any of the senses, to recognize and proclaim the past Buddhas. The Buddha replies in the negative. It is probably the same monk who is mentioned in the Aṅguttaranikāya as having been visited during his illness by the Buddha on the suggestion of Ānanda (AN.iii.379 ff). The Buddha found Phagguna in bed and grievously ill, and he talked to him and comforted him. Phagguna died soon after, having attained Arahant-ship.

Phagguna 02. See Moliya Phagguna.
