Sujāta Thera. He was a brahmin of Benares, father of Sundarī Therī. While grieving for the death of his son, he met Vāsitthī Therī, and from her he heard about the Buddha, whom he visited at Mithilā.
He entered the Order under the Buddha, attaining arahantship on the third day (ThigA.229).
It is perhaps this Thera who is mentioned in the Samyutta Nikāya (S.ii.278f ) as having won the special praise of the Buddha because of his bright expression.
