SÄgara
1. SÄgara. The personal attendant of Sumedha Buddha. J.i.38; Bu.xii.23.
2. SÄgara. A khattiya, father of AtthadassÄ« Buddha and husband of SudassanÄ. He lived in Sobhana (Bu.xv.14; J.i.39). The ApadÄna (Ap.i.153; cf. ThagA.i.153) mentions a monk, named SÄgara, a disciple of AtthadassÄ« Buddha, who continued to live after the Buddha’s death. The two may have been identical.

4. SÄgara. A king of long ago, mentioned in a list of persons, who, though they held great almsgivings, could not attain beyond the sensual worlds (kÄmÄvacara) (J.vi.99).
