1. Sangha. An astrologer (samvacckarikanáyaka) who predicted the destiny of Kitti (afterwards Vijayabáhu I.). It was this prediction which made Buddharája support Kitti. Cv.lvii.48.
2. Sangha. Father of Súranimmila; he was the father of seven sons and lived in Khandavitthika. Mhv.xxiii.19.
3. Sangha. An upásaka who will wait on Metteyya Buddha (Anágat. vs. 61) and be his chief lay patron. Ibid., 98.
4. Sangha. A minister of Dutthagámaní. He gave alms, in circumstances that won applause from the deity of the king's parasol, to Mahánága Thera of Kotagallapabbata, to a monk of Timbarugáma, and to another of Devagirivihára and Cetiyapabbata. The king sent for him and made him Treasurer. It is probably this same Sangha that is mentioned in the Extended Mahávamsa (xxxii.246) as destined to become the chief patron of Matteyya Budda. His wife was Sanghadattá (q.v.). Ras.ii.75f, 180.
5. Sangha. A minister of Kákavannatissa; his brother was Cullasangha and his daughter Kiñcisanghá. When the latter was taught cooking, the first meal she made was given to the monks. Thus she came to be called Sanghupattháyiká. Later, she was abandoned by her parents at Nigrodhasálakhanda, but she was rescued by Sakka in the guise of a youth. She gave alms to a monk of Cittalapabbáta when she had been starving for seven days, and also gave her only garment, herself wearing leaves. The king heard of this from the deity of his parasol, and, having sent for her, gave her in marriage to one of his sons. Ras.ii.45f.
Sangha Sutta. The Buddha tells Upáli of ten things which disunite the Order and their ten opposites which unite it. A.v.73.
