Aṅgirasa7

Person

දහසක් අත් සහිත අර්ජුන රජු ඔහුගේ දඩයම බාධා කිරීම හේතුවෙන් විෂ ගැසූ ඊතලයකින් වෙඩි තබා මරා දැමූ තාපස අංගීරස ගෝතම.

An ascetic, Aṅgīrasa Gotama, who was killed by the thousand-armed Ajjuna. The ascetic disturbed the animals when Ajjuna was waiting to hunt, and the king, in anger, shot at him with a poisoned arrow (J.v.135, 144 and 145; DA.i.266). This Aṅgīrasa is probably to be identified with one of the foregoing.
