Bhāradvāja3
PersonNgười anh cả của một dòng họ bà-la-môn Bhāradvāja ở Rājagaha, vì bực bội trước việc vợ mình không ngớt ca ngợi Đức Phật nên đích thân đến chất vấn Ngài, nhưng lại bị thuyết phục, xuất gia và chứng quả A-la-hán, khiến nhiều người em cũng noi theo.
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)
