Bhāradvāja Thera.—He belonged to the Bhāradvājagotta and was a brahmin of Rājagaha. He sent his son Kaṇhadinna to Takkasilā, to study under a certain teacher, but, on the way there, the boy met a Thera, entered the Order, and became an arahant. Bhāradvāja, too, heard the Buddha preach at Veḷuvana, became a monk, and attained arahantship. Later, when Kaṇhadinna visited the Buddha at Rājagaha, he met his father and learnt from him of his attainments. - [Previous: v2.c30.399](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.399) - [Next: v2.c30.401](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.401) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.400](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.400) · Pramāṇa
