He was the leader of the assembly of monks (\*saṅghathera\*). On the day of the dedication of Asoka’s vihāra, the Thera was a \*khīṇāsava\* and was present, but his begging bowl and robe were hardly worth a farthing. People, seeing him there, asked him to make way; but he sank into the earth, rising to receive the alms given to the leader of the monks, knowing that he alone was fit to accept it.⁵ - [Previous: v2.c31.301](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.301) - [Next: v2.c31.303](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.303) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.302](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.302) · Pramāṇa
