Born of the brahman caste, he was from a town called Upade`sa near Magadha. He was originally a disciple of the skeptic philosopher Sa~njaya, but when he converted to Buddhism along with Maudgalyaayana 栚楢, they brought 250 Sa~njaya disciples with them. He served as tutor to `Saakyamuni's son Raahula. He became so deeply enlightened in the buddhadharma (he is considered to be the wisest of the disciples) that he sometimes even gave sermons in the Buddha's absence. Being somewhat older than `Saakyamuni, he passed away before him. He appears as an interlocutor in praj~naapaaramitaa works, such as the Heart Sutra. [Credit] acm(entry) cw(py)
