Udakadāyaka Thera

1. Udakadāyaka Thera.– An Arahant. In a former birth he saw Siddhattha Buddha taking his meal and brought him a pot of water. Sixty-one world-cycles ago he became a king named Vimala (Ap.i.205). He is probably identical with Sānu Thera. ThagA.i.115.

2. Udayadāyaka Thera.– An Arahant. In a previous birth he filled a vessel of water for Padumuttara Buddha. As a result, he could find water in any spot he wished (Ap.ii.437). His Apadāna verses are found in the Theragāthā Commentary under the names of two elders: Mahā-Gavaccha (i.57) and Gaṅgātīriya Thera (i.249).
