4. Bhāradvāja. A young brahmin, pupil of Tārukkha. A discussion between him and Vāsettha led to the preaching of the Tevijja Sutta (D.i.235), and also the Vāsettha Sutta (SN., p.115ff.; M.ii.197f).
Bhāradvāja later became the Buddha's follower (D.i.252; SN., p. 123). The Aggañña Sutta was preached to him and to Vāsettha when they were undergoing the probationary period prior to their becoming fully ordained monks (D.iii.80).
