1. Subáhu Thera. He was the son of a setthi family of Benares, and was the friend of Yasa. When Yasa and his companions joined the Order Subáhu followed his example, and they all became arahants. Vin.i.19f.
2. Subáhu Thera. He was the son of a Malla rájá of Pává. He joined the Order on the occasion of the Buddha's first visit to Rájagaha and attained arahantship together with his friends Godhika, Valliya and Uttiya. Bimbisára built a hut for them but forgot the roof; there was no rain until this defect had been made good (Thag.vs.52; ThagA.i.123f).
Ninety nine kappas ago Subáhu paid homage to Siddhattha Buddha. Thirty seven kappas ago he was king sixteen times, under the name of Agada. He is perhaps identical with Ńánasańńaka of the Apadána. Ap.i.140f.
3. Subáhu. Five hundred kappas ago there were thirty four kings of this name, previous births of Ekásaniya (Sívalí) Thera. Ap.i.150; ThagA.i.139.
4. Subáhu. A tiger. See the Vannároha and Tittira (No. 438) Játakas. He is identified with Moggallána. J.iii.192, 540.
5. Subáhu. A Pacceka Buddha. M.iii.70; ApA.i.107.
