5. Sudhamma Thera. He lived in Macchikásanda, in a monastery (the Ambátakáráma) provided by Citta. Citta used to invite Sudhamma to his house for meals. One day Sáriputta, at the head of several eminent monks, visited Macchikásanda and stayed in the monastery. Citta heard Sáriputta preach (and became a sakadágámin, says DhA), and, at the end of the sermon, invited him and the monks to his house the next day. He also invited Sudhamma, but because he had been invited after the others, Sudhamma refused to go. Early the next day he visited Citta's house to see what offerings had been prepared, and after seeing them, remarked that one thing was missing: sesame cakes (tilasanguliká). Then Citta rebuked him, comparing him to a crow, the offspring of a cock and a crow. Sudhamma left the house in anger, and going to Sávatthi, reported the matter to the Buddha. The Buddha blamed Sudhamma and said that the Sangha should pass the patisáráníyakamma on him. Sudhamma, thereupon, went to Macchikásanda to ask pardon of Citta, but Citta would not forgive him. The Buddha then gave him a companion, and together they went to Citta, and Sudhamma again asked pardon for his fault. Citta pardoned him and asked to be pardoned himself (Vin.i.15-20; cf. DhA.ii.74ff). Later Sudhamma became an arahant. AA.i.210.
