Son of Upacālā and nephew of
Sāriputta and
Khadiravaniya-Revata.
He was ordained by Revata (Thag.v, 43; ThagA.i.110).
He is mentioned in the Anguttara Nikāya (v.133) in a list of very eminent
disciples, together with Cāla,
Kakkata,
Kalimbha, Nikata and
Katissaha. They lived in the
Kūtāgārasālā in Vesāli, but when the
Licchavis went there to visit the Buddha, they
moved to the Gosingasālavana in search of
quiet.
