A thera. It was once his turn to recite the Pāṭimokkha before the Saṅgha, but because he had a crow’s voice (kākasaraka), he had to obtain permission to make a special effort so that his recitation might be audible to the others (Vin.i.115). It is, perhaps, this same monk who is mentioned in the Vinaya as having been guilty of numerous Saṅghādisesa offences (Vin.iii.110 f, 119 f, 127 f, 137 f, 135 ff).

He is censured again and again and various penalties are inflicted on him, nevertheless he repeats his offences (Vin.ii.38 ff). In the section on offences requiring forfeiture (Nissaggiyakaṇḍaṃ) (Vin.iii.205 f) a story is told of a nun, a former mistress of Udāyī, who conceived a child through touching a garment worn by him. Once when Uppalavaṇṇā asked him to take some meat to the Buddha, he demanded her inner robe as his fees (Vin.iii.208). He seems to have been very fond of the company of women and they returned his liking. (See, e.g., Vin.iv.20, 61, 68). There was evidently a strain of cruelty in him, for we are told of his shooting crows and spitting them with their heads cut off (Vin.iv.124). He is described as being fat (Vin.iv.171). He is perhaps to be identified with Lāḷudāyī.
