Kaṭṭhahāraa
Kaṭṭhaharaa (Kāṣṭhahāraka) A wood-cutter who renounced the world and became a disciple of Suhamma(1). People used to laugh at him with the remark that he had taken to monkhood simply because he could not feed himself.1 Prince Abhaya(1) came to know it. He thought out a plan to stop the people from uttering such absurd words. He announced to distribute three crores of guineas among the people. Many people assembled to receive the grant. Abhaya told them that only he who was prepared to abandon three things, viz. fire, undistilled water and woman, would get the grant. Nobody was prepared to do it. Abhaya, then, explained to the people the real significance of abandonment and told them that Katthaharaa had abandoned all the three things and hence, he deserved reverence.2
