Summary: Citta-gahapati of Macchikāsaṇḍa is canonically the foremost lay expositor of the Dhamma — the principal interlocutor of the Citta-saṃyutta (SN 41 (cited; not yet ingested)), where his discernment in doctrinal questions is repeatedly demonstrated. He is a non-returner (anāgāmī). The Dhammapada-aṭṭhakathā pairs Dhp 73 (the fool's craving for inappropriate reputation) with an episode involving Citta — though the canonical Citta-saṃyutta material is the more substantial source. The Dhp attribution is commentarial; the etadagga status and SN 41 corpus are canonical.
