Cāla Thera.—Son of Cālā and nephew of Sāriputta. He was ordained by Khadiravaniya-Revata.¹ He is mentioned as living at the Kūṭāgārasālā, which place he left when the Licchavis caused disturbance by their visits to the Buddha.² In this context he is spoken of as a very eminent Elder and was, therefore, evidently an arahant.
