A novice. He was a gatekeeper’s son and, coming with some carpenters to Sāvatthi, joined the Order. He was constantly finding fault with the food and other offerings, even those given by Anāthapiṇḍika, and he boasted of the riches enjoyed by his kinsfolk. His colleagues made enquiries and, discovering the truth about his antecedents, reported him to the Buddha who taught the Kaṭāhaka Jātaka (q.v.) to show his similar tendencies in the past.²⁴ Tissa was identified with Kaṭāhaka of the Jātaka.²⁵
