【欝陀羅羅摩子】亦云欝頭藍弗，此云猛喜，又云極喜。《中阿含．羅摩經》云：「我為童子時，年二十九，往阿羅羅迦摩羅所，問言：『依汝法，行梵行，可不？』答言：『無不可。』『云何此法自知證？』仙言：『我度識處，得無所有處。』即住遠離處，修證得已，更往仙所，述己所得。仙問：『汝已證無所有處耶？我之所得，汝亦得耶？』即共領眾。又自念此法不趣智慧，不趣涅槃，寧可更求安隱處耶？是故更往欝陀羅羅摩子所，云：『我欲於汝法中學。』彼答：『無不可。』問曰：『自知證耶？』答：『我度無所有處，得非想定。我久證得。』便修得之，乃至領眾等。復念言：『此法不至涅槃。』即往象頭山，鞞羅梵志村，尼連禪河邊，誓不起座。即得無上安隱涅槃。」

【Udraka Rāmaputra】 Also called Yùtóu Lánfú; here translated as “Fierce Joy”, and also “Utmost Joy”. The Madhyamāgama’s Rāma Sūtra states: “When I was a young man of twenty-nine, I went to Ārāḍa Kālāma and asked, saying: ‘May I practice the holy life according to your teaching, or not?’ He answered, saying: ‘There is no reason you cannot.’ ‘How does one know and realize this Dharma for oneself?’ The ṛṣi said: ‘Transcending the sphere of consciousness, I attain the sphere of nothingness.’ Thereupon I dwelled in a secluded place, cultivated and realized it, and went again to the ṛṣi, declaring what I had attained. The ṛṣi asked: ‘Have you already realized the sphere of nothingness? What I have attained, have you attained it as well?’ and together we led the assembly. Then I thought to myself: ‘This teaching does not lead to wisdom, nor does it lead to nirvāṇa; should I not seek an even more secure place?’ Therefore, I went further to Udraka Rāmaputra, saying: ‘I wish to study in your teaching.’ He answered: ‘There is no reason you cannot.’ I asked: ‘Do you know and realize it yourself?’ He answered: ‘Transcending the sphere of nothingness, I attained the samādhi of neither-perception-nor-non-perception. I realized it long ago.’ I then cultivated and attained it, and even led the assembly with him, and so forth. Again I thought: ‘This teaching does not lead to nirvāṇa.’ Then I went to Mount Gayāśīrṣa, to the village of the brāhmaṇa Senāpatī, beside the Nairañjanā River, and vowed not to rise from my seat. Thereupon I attained supreme, secure nirvāṇa.”
