A monk of Ceylon, probably a colleague of Mahásíva. It is said that Mahásíva was explaining to him the Mahá Saccaka Sutta, and that when he came to the passage where the Buddha charges Saccaka with not understanding the training of the body, much less that of the mind, Gonaraviya laid aside his fan and walked away, saying that the Buddha could not have said such a thing; but Mahásíva persuaded him that it was so. v.l.
