Kanaverapupphiya Thera
An Arahant. Ninety-four world-cycles ago he was a king named Gopaka (?), and seeing the Buddha Siddhattha, accompanied by his monks, walking in the city, the king, from his balcony, scattered kanavera-flowers over them. Eighty-seven world-cycles ago he became king four times (Ap.i.182). He is probably identical with Bandhura Thera. ThagA.i.208.
