本是優填王的大臣，出家後，證得阿羅漢果。有一次，在民間顯現神通，受佛陀呵責，不許他進入涅槃，要常住閻浮提，護持正法，廣度眾生，為人天福田，他亦發願隨請隨到。尊者因常住世間，眉毛長垂，故又稱長眉羅漢。

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.
