AppihÄ


A novice (sÄmaṇera) who lived in the Suvaṇṇakuá¹­i in Dakkhiṇagiri-vihÄra.

On the day after his ordination his mother had prepared seats and alms for eight monks, and, by the power of iddhi, these were made to suffice for 68,000 monks.

The story is told in order to show the power of iddhi in connection with the MahÄ ThÅ«pa ceremonies (Ambasuppiya). (MT.552)
