He is an example¹⁰ of one who attained to the higher knowledge through resolution (\*chandam dhuram katvā\*). The Vinayapiṭaka¹¹ contains a stanza quoted by the Buddha, in which Raṭṭhapāla’s father enquires of his son why the latter never asked him for anything. “Because begging is a degrading thing,” says Raṭṭhapāla. - [Previous: v2.c33.106](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.106) - [Next: v2.c33.108](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.108) - [Up: v2.c33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.107](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.107) · Pramāṇa
