Được biết đến như: Theo quan niệm của Hindu giáo, Phạm thiên hay Đại Phạm thiên là vị thần sáng tạo của vũ trụ này, giống như Thượng đế hay Sáng tạo chủ. Vị thần Brahma là một trong ba vị thần nổi tiếng của đạo Hindu, hai vị còn lại là thần Vishnu và thần Shiva. Brahma là cha của Manu, con người đầu tiên trên thế gian này và từ đó loài người được sinh ra. Do đó, Phạm thiên được tôn thờ như là đấng sáng tạo và sinh ra loài người. Hình tượng Phạm thiên trong Hindu giáo luôn là một vị thần có bốn mặt và bốn cánh tay. Bốn mặt chính là tượng trưng cho bốn bộ Veda (Vệ-đà)[2] và bốn cánh tay đại diện cho bốn hướng chính (Đông, Tây, Nam, Bắc). Không giống như nhiều vị thần Hindu khác, thần Brahma không mang bất kì vũ khí nào trong tay. Một tay cầm vương trượng, tay còn lại ông cầm quyển sách, tay cầm một chuỗi tràng hạt, và tay nữa còn lại cầm kinh Veda. Ý nghĩa của các tay và các pháp khí được lý giải như sau:

Được biết đến như: 3. Lakkhana Thera. Mentioned as having stayed with Mahā Moggallāna on Gijjhakūta. Once, when they were going down to Rājagaha for alms, Lakkhana noticed that at a certain spot Moggallāna smiled; on asking him why, he was told to wait till they saw the Buddha. When the question was repeated in the Buddha's presence, Moggallāna said that he had smiled on seeing various Petas with gruesome forms flying through the air. From the text it would appear that these visions were seen again on several occasions. S.ii.254; Vin.iii.104ff.; the stories of some of the Petas seen and of their past lives are given in detail in DhA.ii.68ff.; iii.60ff.; 410ff., 479.

Được biết đến như: Thulla-Tissā A nun. She was present when Mahā-Kassapa, in the company of Ananda, visited the nuns and preached to them. She expressed resentment that Kassapa should dare to preach in the presence of Ananda. It was, she said, "as if the needle-pedlar should try to sell a needle to the needle-maker." Ananda afterwards asked Kassapa to ignore Tissā's outburst, but she later left the Order. S.ii.215ff.

Được biết đến như: 6. Susīma. A Paribbājaka (skilled in the Vedangas, says Buddhaghosa, SA.ii.93) of Rājagaha. When the Buddha's fame spread and his gains increased, Susīma's followers suggested that he should learn the Buddha's doctrine and preach it to the laity so that he and his followers, too, could reap some of the advantages. Susīma agreed, and sought, Ananda, who, with the Buddha’s sanction, ordained him. In discussion with the monks who declared that they had obtained complete emancipation, etc., Susīma discovered that all of them did not possess supernatural powers, but thought they had gained nibbāna "through insight." He thereupon sought the Buddha to have the matter explained. The Buddha asked him many questions, and made him realize the truth of their statement. Susīma confessed his original purpose in joining the Order and asked for forgiveness (S.ii.119ff). He developed insight and became an arahant. SA.ii.96.

When the Buddha explained to him how he had found liberty, the Brahmin was pleased and accepted the Buddha as his teacher (S.i.179). The Commentary (SA.i.205) explains that this Brahmin had forest trees cut, and out of the timber had the framework for gables, roof terraces, etc., fitted, and these were then carried to the town and sold.

And then, in answer to his question, the Buddha told him of those to whom respect should be shown, among whom the arahants are perfect. Mānatthaddha became the Buddha's follower. S.i.177f; cp.

Three days in succession the Buddha came, and Udaya, feeling annoyed, said to the Buddha: "A pertinacious and greedy man is the Samana Gotama that he comes again and again." The Buddha pointed out to him how, again and again, the furrow has to be sown to ensure a continuous supply of food, how over and over again the dairy-folk draw milk, and how again and again birth and death come to the slow-witted. At the end of the sermon both Udaya and his household became followers of the Buddha. S.i.173f; SA.i.199-200.

Được biết đến như: A brahmin of the Bhāradvāja clan, living at Ekanālā, in Dakkhināgiri. The Buddha visited him in the eleventh year after the Enlightenment (Thomas, op. cit., p.117). The brahmin was so called on account of his profession of agriculture. On the day of his festive sowing (mangalavappa), the Buddha visited him alone (having seen his upanissaya for arahantship), and stood near the place where food was being distributed to a very large number of people engaged in the festival. The brahmin, seeing the Buddha begging for alms, suggests that the Buddha should work for his living - plough and sow just as he does. (The Sūtrālankāra says the brahmin threw water on the Buddha in order to drive him away; Sylvain Levy, JA.1908, xii.99).

He prepares a meal for sacrifice, and when the Buddha, out of compassion for him, appears before his house for alms, he says the meal is meant only for one who has the "threefold lore" (the three Vedas). The Buddha gives the brahmin another interpretation of the "threefold lore"; (see Aggika Sutta). The brahmin, thereupon, becomes a convert, enters the Order, and, in due course, attains arahantship.

Buddhaghosa says (SA.i.179) that the brahmin was called Suddhika to distinguish him from other Bhāradvājas by the nature of his enquiry.

He suggests that he was so called, either because his actual name was such, or because of the nature of the discussion between him and the Buddha.

The name Bilangika (bilanga being another name for such preparations) was given him by the Recensionists at the Third Council.

He was the third of the Bhāradvāja brothers, all of whom eventually became followers of the Buddha (MA.ii.808). "The name (demon-chief) is so pagan for a Brahmin" says Mrs. Rhys Davids (KS.i.203,n.2), and "the Buddha's reply so suggestive of Sakka's (in Samyutta i.221) that a bifurcated or transferred legend seems fairly plausible."

Later he is himself converted and becomes an arahant (S.i.161f.; MA.i.808). The soubriquet of Akkosaka was given him by the Sangītikārā to distinguish him as the author of a lampoon of 500 verses against the Buddha (SA.i.177). Asurindaka-Bhāradvāja was his younger brother (SA.i.178); he had two others, Sundarī Bhāradvāja and Bilangika-Bhāradvāja, who also became converts and, later, arahants. DhA.iv.163.

Được biết đến như: Sambara A chief of the Asuras. In the "Isayo Samuddakā Sutta” (S.i.227) (q.v.) we are told that, because Sambara refused the request of the sages for a guarantee of safety, they cursed him, and his mind was deranged. Buddhaghosa adds (SA.i.266) that, on account of this mental derangement, he came to be called Vepacitti (s.v.). Elsewhere (S.i.239), however, it is said that once Sakka asked Vepacitti to teach him Sambara's magic art (Sambarimāyā). Vepacitti consulted the Asuras and then warned Sakka against learning it because, through his art, Sambara had fallen into purgatory, where he had been suffering for a century. Buddhaghosa, in this context (SA.i.272), calls Sambara an Asurinda, a juggler (māyāvī) who, having practised his māyā, has roasted for the past century in purgatory. Mrs. Rhys Davis (KS.i.306 n) thinks there was a rank of Sambara resembling that of Sakka, and that each succeeding Sambara learnt the magic art. See also Samvara.

Buddhaghosa says (DA.ii.689) that Veroca was another name for Rāhu, and that he was the uncle of Bali's sons. He is probably identical with Verocana, lord of the Asuras' who, according to the Samyutta Nikāya (S.i.225f), went with Sakka to visit the Buddha during his siesta. They waited upon the Buddha, leaning against a doorpost, and each uttered two stanzas on the necessity of striving until one's aim is accomplished.

Được biết đến như: An Asura chieftain, who was present with Namuci (Māra) at the preaching of the Mahāsamaya Sutta (D.20). It is said that among the Asuras, Vepacitti, Rāhu and Pahārada were the chiefs. E.g., AA.ii.758, Vepacitti being the highest (sabbajetthaka, SA.i.263). Vepacitti was the friend of Rāhu, and when Rāhu seized Candimā and Suriya and these invoked the power of the Buddha, it was to Vepacitti that Rāhu fled for comfort (S.i.50, 51). The Asuras being once defeated in a fight with the Devas, the latter took Vepacitti prisoner, and brought him, bound hand and foot, to Sakka in the Sudhammā hall. There Vepacitti reviled and railed at Sakka with scurrilous words, both on entering and on leaving the hall, but Sakka remained silent, and, when questioned by Mātalī, said it was not proper for him to bandy words with a fool. S.i.221f.; cf. S.iv.201, according to which his bondage caused him no inconvenience so long as he remained with the devas, but the moment he experienced the wish to rejoin the Asuras, he felt himself bound. Vepacitti's capture is referred to in Thag.vs.749.

Vajirā answers that there is no such thing as “being," apart from certain conditioned factors, like a chariot, which exists only because of its parts. Māra retires discomfited.
