⁶ Cf. *Papañcasūdani*, iii, p. 196: Santati the minister, Uggasena the banker's son, Vitasoka the young boy attained arhathood while in householder's dress, but the householder's dress (*gihilingam*) cannot uphold the merit of an arhat and so they must either die or retire on the very day *arhathood* is attained by them.
