ABSTRACT

"He whom others guard not," etc.—This the Teacher told while at the Anūpiya Mango-grove, near the town of that name, about the Elder named Bhaddiya the Happy- minded. Bhaddiya the Happy-minded took the vows when the six young noblemen did so together with Upali. 1 Of these, Bhaddiya and Kimbila and Bhagu and Upali became Arahats, ananda entered the First Stage of the Road to Nirvana, Anuruddha attained to the Knowledge of the Past and the Present and the Future, and Devadatta acquired the power of Deep Meditation. The story of the six young noblemen, up to the events at Anūpiya, will be related in the Khaṇḍdahala Jataka.
