Cāla
PersonEin bedeutender Thera, Sohn der Cālā und Neffe Sāriputtas, von Khadiravaniya Revata ordiniert, der die Kūṭāgārasālā verließ, als die Besuche der Licchavis dort Unruhe verursachten
Son of Cālā and nephew of Sāriputta. He was ordained by Khadiravaniya-Revata (Thag.vs.42; ThigA.i.110).
He is mentioned as living at the Kūṭāgārasālā, which place he left when the Licchavis caused disturbance by their visits to the Buddha (A.v.133). In this context he is spoken of as a very eminent elder and was, therefore, evidently an Arahant.
