Ramanīyavihārī Thera untranslated

Ramanīyavihārī Thera. An Arahant. He was the son of a banker of Rājagaha and lived a dissolute life, till one day, on witnessing the arrest of an adulterer, he was very agitated and joined the Saṅgha. As a monk, too, he lived in luxury, in a well-furnished room hence his name. Later, seized with remorse, he wandered out of his cell. On the way he saw a carter refresh a weary bull and then re-yoke him. Determined to take up his duties as a monk, he sought Upāli, and, with his help, attained Arahant-ship. In the past he had offered koraṇḍa-flowers to Vipassī Buddha (Thag.vs.45; Thag­a.i.115f).

He is probably identical with Koraṇḍapupphiya Thera of the Apadāna. Fifty-seven kappas ago he was a king named Vītamala. Ap.i.206.
