<b> <c c="#a00149">Brahmadeva</c> </b> <br>The son of a brahmin woman. Having joined the Order, he dwelt in solitude and became an arahant. One day he went to Sāvatthī for alms, and, in due course, arrived at his mother’s house. She was in the habit of making an oblation to Brahmā, but, on that day, Sahampati appeared before her and told her to bestow her gifts on her son. <c c="#3b6bd3">SN.i.140f.</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
