Katthahāra Sutta

Some pupils of a Bhāradvāja brahmin; firewood-gatherers (katthahārakā), came across the Buddha engaged in meditation in a forest in Kosala and informed their teacher of it.

He went to the Buddha and asked him about his reasons for dwelling in the forest. The brahmin expresses his delight with the Buddha’s explanation, taking refuge and declaring himself to be a lay follower. S.i.180.
