Āyupāla.—A thera who lived in the Saṅkheyya Pariveṇa near Sāgala. King Milinda’s royal astrologer informed the Elder that the king wished to see him, and the king, having obtained his permission, visited him at the Pariveṇa, attended by five hundred Yonakas. The king discussed with the Elder the aim of those who became monks, and Āyupāla was unable to meet the king’s arguments.¹
