Per the commentary, venerable Subhūti was Anāthapiṇḍika’s younger brother and went forth on the day Jetavana Monastery was dedicated to the Buddha. He attained arahantship through developing insight grounded in loving-kindness. Before giving Dhamma teachings or receiving alms, he would first enter collectedness through loving-kindness and then emerge. The Buddha praised him for his peaceful conduct and for living “without contention toward anyone.”
