Vacchapāla Thera.—An arahant. He belonged to a rich brahmin family of Rājagaha. He witnessed the miracles performed by Uruvela-Kassapa and his self-submission to the Buddha when they visited Bimbisāra together, and marvelling thereat, entered the Order. Within a week he developed insight and became an arahant.
