Annabhāra untranslated

Annabhāra 01. A well-known paribbājaka who lived in the Paribbājakārāma on the banks of the River Sappinī near Rājagaha. He is mentioned as staying with the well-known paribbājakas, Varadhara and Sakuludāyi. The Buddha visits them and talks about the four factors of Dhamma (dhammapadāni) which are held in esteem by everyone: not-coveting, not-malice, right-mindfulness, right-concentration (AN.ii.29-31).

On another occasion they discuss the “Brahmin truth.” The Buddha visits them and tells them what he considers to be the Brahmin truths (Brāhmaṇasaccāni): that no creatures are to be harmed; all sense-delights are impermanent, painful and changing; all becomings are impermanent, etc.; a Brahmin is one who has no part in or attachment to anything any more (AN.ii.176-7).

Annabhāra 02. A former birth of Anuruddha Thera. His story is given in the account, of the Elder.
