v2.c35.587

1. Valliya Thera.—He was the son of a Malla chieftain of Pāvā and joined the Order with his companions, Godhika, Subāhu and Uttiya, when they went on some embassy to Kapilavatthu and saw the Yamakapāṭihāriya in Nigrodhārāma. Bimbisāra later built huts for them, but he forgot to roof them, and so there was no rain till the roofs were added.
