So called because he was always sweeping. One day he saw
Revata in his cell and thought him an idler. Revata read his thoughts, and,
wishing to admonish him, asked him to return after a bath. When Sammuñjanī did
so, Revata preached to him on the duties of a monk. Sammuñjanī became an
arahant, and all the rooms remained unswept. The monks, reported this to the
Buddha, who, however, declared him free from blame, since there was no need for
him to continue sweeping. DhA.iii.168 f.
