While meditating in a forest tract in Kosala, he grew slothful and rough in speech. One day the Buddha, seeing his maturing insight, appeared before him in a ray of glory and admonished him with a verse. Belaṭṭhānika was filled with agitation and soon after became an arahant. - [Previous: v2.c29.702](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.702) - [Next: v2.c29.704](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.704) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.703](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.703) · Pramāṇa
