<b> <c c="#a00149">Isidāsa</c> </b> <br>A thera. He had a brother, also a monk, named Isibhatta. Having spent the rainy season in Sāvatthī, they went to take up their abode in a certain village. The people there gave them food and robes, but they refused to accept their share of these, because, according to the rule, the robes are the property of the Saṅgha until the Kaṭhina-ceremony has been performed. The story is mentioned in connection with accepting robes elsewhere than in the spot where the rainy season has been spent. <c c="#3b6bd3">Vin.i.299</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
