Kaundinya
Kauṇḍinya (Sanskrit; Pali: ''Koṇḍañña'') also known as ''Ājñātakauṇḍinya'', Pali: ''Añña Koṇḍañña'') was a Buddhist monk follower of Gautama Buddha and the first to become an arhat. He lived during the 6th century BCE in what is now Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, India. ==Life== Kaundinya was a brahmin who first came to prominence as a youth due to his mastery of the ''Vedas'' and was later appointed as a royal court scholar of King Suddhodana of the Sakyas in Kapilavastu. There Koṇḍañña was the only scholar who unequivocally predicted upon the birth of Prince Siddhartha that the prince would become an enlightened Buddha, and vowed to become his disciple. Koṇḍañña and four colleagues followed Siddhartha in six years of ascetic practice, but abandoned him in disgust after Siddhartha gave up the practice of self-mortification. Upon enlightenment, Siddartha gave his first dharma talk to Koṇḍañña's group. Koṇḍañña was the first to comprehend the teaching and thus became the first bhikkhu and arahat. Koṇḍañña was regarded as the foremost of the five initial disciples of the Buddha and later travelled around India spreading the dharma. Among his notable converts was his nephew Puṇṇa, who the Buddha acknowledged as the foremost preacher of the dharma. In his final years, he retreated to the Himalayas and predeceased the Buddha. Koṇḍañña's previous rebirths are described in many accounts in Buddhist literature. These accounts show that he had vowed in previous existences to be the first to comprehend the dharma when it was to be proclaimed by an enlightened Buddha. They also document that the seeds of his relationship with Gautama Buddha as the first arahant were sown in previous existences in which they had crossed paths.
