<b> <c c="#a00149">Nālaka</c> </b> <br>Nephew of Asita Kāladevala. When Asita realized that he would not live to see the Buddha, he sought out Nālaka and asked him to leave the world at once and become an ascetic and hold himself in readiness to profit by the Buddha’s Enlightenment. This Nālaka did. When the time came, he visited the Buddha to ask about the way of practice. <c c="#3b6bd3">Snp.838–862</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
