According to the Theragāthā Commentary,² Tapassu and Bhalluka were brothers, sons of a caravan leader of \*\*Pokkharavati\*\*. Some time later they visited the Buddha at Rājagaha, where he preached to them; Tapassu, thereupon, became a Sotāpanna, while Bhalluka entered the Order and became an arahant.
