Vimalakondañña

Son of Ambapali and Bimbisara, Vimala was his earlier name, but later he came to be called Vimalakondañña. When the Buddha visited Vesali, Vimala was impressed by his majestic presence and entered the Order, attaining arahantship soon afterwards.

A sermon preached by Vimala helped Ambapālī to develop insight and win arahantship. (ThigA.207)
