He found Moggallāna and repeated the stanza he had heard from Assaji (ye dhammā hetuppabhavā, etc.), and Moggallāna also became a sotāpanna. The two then resolved to visit the Buddha at Veḷuvana, after an unsuccessful attempt to persuade Sañjaya to accompany them. Sañjaya’s disciples, however, five hundred in number, agreed to go, and they all arrived at Veḷuvana. The Buddha preached to them, and ordained them by the “ehi-bhikkhu-pabbajjā.” All became arahants except Sāriputta and Moggallāna. Moggallāna went to the hamlet of Kallavāla¹ in Magadha, and there, on the seventh day after his ordination, drowsiness overcame him as he sat meditating. The Buddha knew this, and appearing before him, exhorted him to be zealous. That very day he attained arahantship. - [Previous: v2.c31.1903](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1903) - [Next: v2.c31.1905](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1905) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1904](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1904) · Pramāṇa
