Sunita
Sunita was a highly accomplished disciple of the Buddha. He was born in a family of untouchables whose job was of sweeping around the temple area. According to Thanissaro Bhikkhu's translation of the Theragāthā account, Sunīta laments::"People found me disgusting, :despised me, disparaged me. :Lowering my heart, :I showed reverence to many."
Sunīta continues, describing his meeting with the Buddha and ordination:
:The compassionate Teacher, :sympathetic to all the world, said: ::"Come monk." :That was my formal Acceptance.
Sunīta practiced arduously and eventually became an Arahant. His status was acknowledged by the gods Brahmā and Śakra:
:Then, as night was ending :& the sun returning, :Indra & Brahmā came to pay homage to me, :hands palm-to-palm at their hearts: ::"Homage to you, ::O thoroughbred of men, ::Homage to you, ::O man supreme, ::whose effluents are ended. ::You, dear sir, ::are worthy of offerings."
