His given name was changed to "Hatthaka" after Buddha saved him from being eaten by a Yakkha (or Yaksha) spirit named Alavaka. His name "Hatthaka" (hattha means "hand") comes from his being handed over by the yakha spirit to Buddha upon his conversion. He was an anagami (non-returner) and was born in a heaven called "Aviha" where he would attain Arahant status.
