Pindola was originally a court official of King Udayana and attained Arhatship after becoming a monk. He once showed off his supernatural powers in public and was reprimanded by the Buddha, who forbade him from entering nirvana. He was instructed by the Buddha to stay in Jambudvipa to uphold the teachings, liberate sentient beings, and serve as their merit fields by accepting their offerings. He made a vow to appear whenever he is needed. Due to his prolonged residence in the world, he has exceptionally long eyebrows, and is thus known as the Arhat with Long Eyebrows.
