Saddhiṃ antevāsinā brahmadattena māṇavenāti – ettha ante vasatīti antevāsī. Samīpacāro santikāvacaro sissoti attho. Brahmadattoti tassa nāmaṃ. Māṇavoti sattopi coropi taruṇopi vuccati.

“Along with his pupil, the youth Brahmadatta” (saddhiṃ antevāsinā brahmadattena māṇavena): here, he lives inside (ante vasati), thus he is a pupil (antevāsī). The meaning is: one who walks nearby, one who moves in the presence, a student. “Brahmadatta” is his name. “Youth” (māṇavo): it is said of a living being, of a thief, and of a young man.
