1. Korandapupphiya Thera.-An arahant. Ninety-one kappas ago he saw the footprint of the Buddha Vipassí and offered to it a koranda-plant in bloom. Fifty-seven kappas ago he was a king named Vítamala (Ap.i.206). He is probably to be identified with Ramaníyavihárí. ThagA.i.116.

 

2. Korandapupphiya Thera.-An arahant. He was a woodsman in the time of Tissa Buddha, and having seen three footprints of the Buddha, he offered to him a flowering koranda-plant. In all subsequent births his skin was the colour of the koranda-flower. The same verses appear in two places in the Apadána with very slight variations (Ap.ii.383, 434). Perhaps these are two distinct persons, because in the Theragáthá Commentary the verses appear twice - once under the name of Sugandha (ThagA.i.81) and once under that of Sabbamitta (ThagA.i.270).
