Definition[2]

śrāvaka[sāvaka] a disciple, an aspirant in the TheravādaSchool, who makes an effort to attain Arhathood. The term śrāvaka is derived from śru, to hear and hence śrāvaka means a hearer, one who follows the teaching of the Buddha in order to get enlightenment. Originally the term was used for the 'great disciples' of Śākyamuni who heard the Law from him. The Hīnayāna is divided into Śrāvakayāna, the vehicle of the hearers and the Pratyekabuddhayāna, the vehicle of solitary Buddha-s. Kāśyapa or Mahākāśyapa, Upāli, Ānanda, Anuruddha and Kātyāyana are prominent among the eighty great disciples.
