Brahmāli Thera untranslated

Brahmāli Thera. He belonged to a Brahmin family of Kosala, and, through association with spiritually-minded friends and his own realization of the ills of Saṁsāra, he entered the Saṅgha. Dwelling in the forest he soon developed insight and acquired Arahant-ship.

In the time of Vipassī Buddha he was a householder, and, seeing the Buddha going on his alms rounds, he gave him a vāra-fruit. Thag.vs.205-6; Thag­a.i.327f.
