Buddhasaññaka
(Redirected from Vītasoka Thera)

Buddhasaññaka. A hermit in the time of Siddhattha Buddha. Having heard from his pupils of the birth of the Buddha, he set forth from his hermitage to visit him. But he fell ill while yet one hundred and fifty leagues away, and he died full of faith in the Buddha (Ap.ii.420). He is probably identical with Vītasoka Thera. ThagA.i.295f.
