His personal name is not given. He became an expert in brahmin learning, but failing to find therein what he sought, he became a Paribbājaka, joining the Buddha’s Order later. - [Previous: v2.c35.100](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.100) - [Next: v2.c35.102](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.102) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.101](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.101) · Pramāṇa
