Maṇipūjaka Thera

1. Maṇipūjaka Thera.–An Arahant. Ninety-four world-cycles ago he was an ascetic, and, having seen the Buddha (? Padumuttara), gave him a jewelled seat. Twelve world-cycles ago he was king eight times under the name of Sataramsī. Ap.i.190.

2. Maṇipūjaka Thera.– An Arahant. He was once a Nāga king in a lake in Himavā, and, having seen Padumuttara Buddha travelling through the air, he offered him the jewel which he wore round his throat, that being the only thing he had (Ap.ii.413 f). He is probably identical with Mātaṅgaputta Thera. ThagA.i.349.
