Atula untranslated

Atula 01. An upāsaka of Sāvatthī. He went with five hundred others to listen to Revata, who, however, being fond of solitude, would not preach to him. In anger he went to Sāriputta who, on hearing his grievances, discoursed at length on the Abhidhamma. Annoyed thereat he repaired to Ānanda, to whom he told the story. Ānanda preached them a very short sermon, and the upāsakas in despair sought the Buddha. The Buddha pointed out to them that they had been too hasty in their condemnation. At the end of the discourse Atula and his companions gained the First Fruit of the Path. Dhp­a.iii.325-9.
