Seniya untranslated

Seniya 01. A naked ascetic who practised the “Canine vow,” behaving like a dog. After his visit to the Buddha, as recorded in the Kukkuravatikasutta (q.v.), he joined the Saṅgha and, in due course, became an Arahant. MN.i.387ff.

Seniya 02. The personal name, according to Buddhaghosa, of King Bimbisāra, who is almost always referred to as Seniya Bimbisāra (MN­a.i.292; but see Snp­a.ii.448, mahatiyā senāya samannāgatattā). Dhammapāla says (Ud­a.104), however, that Bimbisāra was called Seniya either because he had a large army, or because he belonged to the Seniya gotta (mahatiyā senāya samannāgātatta vā Seniyagottatā vā).
