A thera. He had a brother, also a monk,
named Isibhatta. Having spent the rainy season in Sāvatthi, they went to take up
their abode in a certain village. The people there gave them food and robes, but
they refused to accept their share of these, because, according to the rule, the
robes are the property of the Sangha until the Kathina-ceremony has been
performed. The story is mentioned in connection with accepting robes elsewhere
than in the spot where the rainy season has been spent. Vin.i.299.
