ABSTRACT

The Brahmalla Sundarikabharadvaga received the pabbagga. from Bhagavat, and he received also the l.1pasampada j and the venerable Bharadvaga., having lately received the upasampada, leading a solitary, retired, strenuous, ardent, energetic life, lived after having in a short time in this existence by his own understanding ascertained and possessed himself of that highest perfection of a religious life for the sake of which men of ,good family rightly wander away from their houses to a houseless state. I Birth had been destroyed, a religious life had been led, what was to be done had been done, there was nothing else (to be done) for this existence,' so he perceived, and the venerable BharadvA.gd. became one of the arahats.
