“ He saw Upali; he called him.
"Barber, why did you throw away our jewels?" he asked.
"I, too, want to become a monk," replied the barber.
"Then walk with us," said Bhadrika.
But Upali still hung back. Anuruddha said to him:
"Walk beside us, barber. Monks make no distinctions, except for age and for virtue. When we stand before the Buddha, you must even be the first to address him, and the first to ask him to receive you into the community. For by yielding to you, the princes will show that they have put aside their Sakya pride." ”

“ These two then won over Ananda, Bhrigu, Kimbala and Devadatta, by convincing them that there was no higher calling than that of a monk.
The six princes then set out to join the Buddha. They had hardly left Kapilavastu when Ananda, glancing at Bhadrika, exclaimed:
"How now, Bhadrika! You would lead a life of holiness, and you keep all your jewels?" ”

“ Six were relatives, and they were among the wealthiest and most powerful of the Sakyas. Their names were Anuruddha, Bhadrika, Bhrigu, Kimbala, Devadatta and Ananda. The seventh was a barber named Upali. ”
