A fisherman of a settlement near the north gate of Sāvatthi. The Buddha, seeing his potential (upanissaya) for Stream-winning (sotāpatti), passed with the congregation of monks close by the spot where he was fishing and stopped not far from him. Then the Buddha proceeded to ask the monks their names, and noticing that the fisherman himself expected to be questioned, he asked him his. On learning that it was Ariya, the Buddha suggested to him that he was unworthy of the name, because a real Noble One (Ariya) never injured any living thing. At the end of the discourse the fisherman became a Stream-winner. DhA.iii.396-8.
