Mongyelputra (Tib. མོའུ་འགལ་བུ།) was one of the Śākyamuni Buddha’s closest disciples. A contemporary of famous arhats such as Subhūti, Śāriputra, and Mahākāśyapa, he is considered the second of the Buddha’s two foremost disciples (foremost in supernatural powers), together with Śāriputra. He was born in a Brahmin family of Kolita.
