Bhāradvāja3
PersonDer Älteste eines Bhāradvāja-Brahmanenclans in Rājagaha, den das ständige Lob seiner Frau für den Buddha so ärgerte, dass er den Buddha direkt zur Rede stellte, sich aber überzeugen ließ, Mönch wurde und die Arahantschaft erlangte, wobei mehrere Brüder seinem Beispiel folgten.
He was the eldest of a clan of Bhāradvājas living in Rājagaha and his wife was a Dhanañjāni brahminee. The wife was a devout follower of the Buddha, and constantly sang the praises of the Buddha, of his teachings, and of the Order. Annoyed at this, Bhāradvāja went to the Buddha and asked a question. He was so pleased with the answer that he joined the Order and not long after became an Arahant (S.i.160 f), several of his brothers following his example. See Bhāradvāja (5)
