Samīti
A waggon builder of SÄvatthi. In the Anaá¹…gaṇa Sutta (q.v.), MoggallÄna tells SÄriputta how he once saw SamÄ«ti shaping a felloe; by his side, Paṇá¸uputta was watching, wishing that Samiti might shape the felloe without crook, twist, or blemish. When SamÄ«ti did this, Paṇá¸uputta sang with joy, saying that SamÄ«ti had read his thoughts. M.i.31f.
