**2. Phussa Thera.**—He was the son of a ruler of a province and was trained in all accomplishments. Having heard a great Thera preach, he left the world and joined the Order. He practised *jhāna* and became an arahant. One day an ascetic named Paṇḍarassagotta heard him preach and questioned him on the future progress of *bhikkhus*. Phussa’s reply is contained in the Theragāthā.¹
