According to Dhammapāla,³ the soubriquet Ukkhepakaṭa was given to him because he was able to teach and recite passages from the three Piṭakas "casting them in their proper setting, according as they belonged to each Piṭaka." The title was meant to emphasise his eminent repertory of orally-learnt doctrine.
