Jāliya
Jāliya:A Paribbājaka who,with his friendMandissa,visited theBuddha at the Ghositārāma (D.i.159).The Buddha preached to them theJāliya Sutta.
According to the Pātika Sutta,when Jāliya heard that Pātika could not come to hold a discussion with the Buddha atVesāli,he went to the Tindukkhāna-paribbājakārāma and tried to get Pātikaputta to come.But the latter was unable to come,being fixed in his seat.Jāliya thereupon spoke insultingly to him,calling him boaster,etc.(D.iii.22ff).
Jāliya is described as dārupattakantevāsī,because,says the Commentary (DA.i.319),his teacher used to beg for alms with a wooden bowl.
