The royal chamberlains, Isidatta and
Purina, staying at Sādhuka, hear that the Buddha is in the village and, waiting
for him, follow him till he sits down under a tree. They tell him of their joy
that he is staying near them. They are proud in telling him that in spite of the
temptations placed in their way in the performance of their duties, they are
free from thoughts of lust. The Buddha tells them they are possessed of the four
qualities of Sotāpannas and should, therefore, be thankful for their good
fortune. S. v.348ff.
