A priest named Puṣkarasārin and another named [Tārukkha] had gone to the village of Icchānaṅgala for some minor reason.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

This priest Puṣkarasārin was descended from seven generations of fathers and mothers who were genuine [priests], so he wasn’t slighted by others. He had mastered the three Vedas and could discern all the various kinds of scriptures. He was also skilled in the techniques of [recognizing] the great man’s signs, divining fortune and misfortune, and [performing] sacrifices and rituals. He had 500 disciples whom he taught without exception.
