A co-resident of Sāriputta. He evidently
understood medicine, and one day he administered medical treatment for a sick
person, in return for which he received a portion of choice food. As he went out
he met an Elder on the road to whom he offered it, telling him the circumstances
in which it was obtained and offering to bring him in the future the food so
obtained. The Elder listened, then walked away without a word. When the Buddha
heard of this, he declared that a shameless man can, in a manner of speaking,
live happily, like a crow. Dh A.iii.351f.
