In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Bhutapala. An example of one who possessed nanavipphara iddhi (PS.ii.211). He was the child of a poor man of Rajagaha, and went one day with his father in a cart to the forest to collect firewood. By the time they returned to the town gate, evening had fallen. The cart was halted awhile, and the oxen, having got free from the yoke, entered the town. Telling the child to sit near the cart, the father set off after the oxen. Before he could return, the gate was shut, and the child owed his escape during the night from wild beasts and demons to his nanavipphara iddhi.
Although the place where he slept was near to a cemetery, no evil spirit could harm the boy as that birth was destined to be his last. He later joined the Order and became an arahant, being famed as Bhutapala Thera. PSA. 493f.; Vsm.379f.
2. Bhutapala. The Vibhanga Commentary in explaining the term kasavapajjota says that it means resplendent with the colour of orange, completely (ekobhasini) like the family of Bhutapalasetthi (Bhutapalasetthikulasadisani). VibhA.342; see also Bhutavalika.
