Having learnt all the arts and sciences, he left the world and practised penance for the purpose of obtaining immortality.

Later he lived in a forest near the village of Kundiya of the Kurus, and the verses ascribed to him in the Theragatha (vv.219-21.; ThagA.i.339-41) were spoken at Uggarama, near by, to some brahmin acquaintances who had come from Uttarapatha.
