1. Mánavamma. See Mána, Nos. 2 and 3.


2. Mánavamma. Elder brother of Mána (Mána 2) and son of Kassapa II. Once, as he made an incantation, the god Kumára appeared before him, riding his peacock; the bird, finding nothing to drink, flew at Mánavamma's face. He, thereupon, offered the peacock his eye, of which the bird drank. Kumára promised him the fulfilment of his wish, but he did not aspire to royal power, and retired in favour of his younger brother Mána. Cv.lvii.5ff.
