Anula
1. Anula.- A Thera, incumbent of the Koá¹ipabbatamahÄ vihÄra in Sri Lanka. He evidently possessed the celestial eye and, seeing how Sumana, wife of Lakuṇá¹aka-atimbara, had once been a pig, he expressed marvel that such things should happen. She heard his exclamation, and having learnt from him the story of that past life, she herself got the power of seeing her past lives. DhA.iv.50-1. 2. Anula.- See MahÄ Anula Thera.
