2. Addaa Son of Adda, the king of Addapura. Seeing the image of Titthayara Usabha(1) sent by Abhaya(1) he recalled his previous life (jātismarana) as Sāmaia, an inhabitant of Vasamtapura living with his wife. Both of them had renouneed the world after which they used to wander separately. Once he happened to see his wife while roaming for alms and felt reattached to her. She, however, remained unshaken. After death Sāmaia was reborn as a god and his wife as a goddess. After the end of their celestial life Sāmaia took birth as Addaa and his wife as a daughter of a householder of Vasamtapura. Adda, after having recalled his previous life, got detached from the world and renounced it. Once that girl saw him meditating in a solitary place at Vasamtapura. She determined to marry him. Addaa, however, had to yield to her demand. After enjoying a few years of house-holder's life he started for Rāyagiha. There he had discussions with Gosāla as well as with the followers of other sects. Then he met king Seniya(1) and held discussions with Buddha(1) as well as with Hatthitāyasa. Thereafter, he again renounced the world, became a disciple of Titthayara Mahāvīra and attained emancipation. He is also known as Addākumăra.? 1. SutN. 187-200, SutCu. pp. 413-7, p. 44, VyaM.
