He belonged to a minister's family and was born in a village near Dakkhiṇagiri-vihāra. When he came of age, he entered the Order, learned the whole of the Tipiṭaka, and, on going with a large concourse to see his teacher, was asked to give up his following and go into solitude to practise meditation. He went to the Vātakasitapabbata-vihāra, practised meditation and became an arahant. While living in the Cetiyapabbata-vihāra, he was once worshipping at the Kaṇṭaka-cetiya and was seated at the foot of a Kālatimabara tree.¹ One of the monks asked him a question on the Kāḷakārāma Sutta and the Elder preached a sermon based on the sutta. King Tissa (probably Saddhā-Tissa), who was in the vicinity, came to listen to the sermon. - [Previous: v1.c12.1692](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1692) - [Next: v1.c12.1694](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1694) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1693](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1693) · Pramāṇa
