One of the five companions of Śākyamuni in asceticism and later one of his first five pupils, attaining the state of a stream entrant. After the Buddha's death he is said to have headed the great council of ten thousand that established a canon of the Buddha's teachings (while Kāśyapa was the head of a smaller council elsewhere who did the same).

One of the Five Excellent Companions, with whom Siddhārtha Gautama practiced asceticism near the Nairañjanā River and who later heard the Buddha first teach the Four Noble Truths at the Deer Park in Sarnath.
