Samavāya forty-seven

2. Elder monk (sthavira) Agnibhūti spent forty-seven years as house holder
but according to Āvaśyakaniryukti (Gāthā 650) his span as house-holder was forty-six years. Probably he lived more than forty-six years as householders; hence this difference is owing to complete and incomplete year.
