A householder of Sāvatthi who led a very holy life. One day he felt the wish to become a monk and spoke of it to his wife, but she begged him to wait until after the birth of their child. He waited until the child was able to walk and, then spoke again to her, but she then wished him to wait until the child should be of age. To this he would not agree, but joined the Order and soon after became an Arahant. Later, he visited his family and taught his son, who became a monk and attained Arahantship. His mother, left alone, joined the nuns, becoming an Arahant herself. DhA.ii.157-9.
