<b> <c c="#a00149">Jāliya</c> </b> <br>A wanderer who, with his friend Mandissa, visited the Buddha at the Ghositārāma. <c c="#3b6bd3">DN.i.159</c> The Buddha preached to them the Jāliya Sutta. According to the Pātika Sutta, when Jāliya heard that Pātika could not come to hold a discussion with the Buddha at Vesāli, he went to the Tindukkhāna-paribbājakārāma and tried to get Pātikaputta to come. But the latter was unable to come, being fixed in his seat. Jāliya thereupon spoke insultingly to him, calling him boaster, etc. <c c="#3b6bd3">DN.iii.22ff.</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
