Ti-kanikārapupphiya Thera

An Arahant. He was once a sorcerer (vijjādhara), and, having seen the Buddha Sumedha flying through the air, offered him three flowers which remained suspended above the Buddha’s head.

He was reborn as a deva in a palace in Tāvatiṃsa called Kanikāra (Ap.ii.441ff).

He is probably identical with Uttara Thera. ThagA.i.241.
