He was the son of a banker of \*\*Rājagaha\*\* and lived a dissolute life, till one day, on witnessing the arrest of an adulterer, he was very agitated and joined the Order. As a monk, too, he lived in luxury, in a well-furnished room—hence his name. Later, seized with remorse, he wandered out of his cell. On the way he saw a carter refresh a weary bull and then reyoke him. Determined to take up his duties as a monk, he sought \*\*Upāli\*\*, and, with his help, attained arahantship. In the past he had offered \*koraṇḍa\*-flowers to \*\*Vipassī Buddha.\*\*¹ - [Previous: v2.c33.245](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.245) - [Next: v2.c33.247](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.247) - [Up: v2.c33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.246](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c33.246) · Pramāṇa
