Aggika-Bhāradvāja
PersonUn brahmane adorateur du feu de Rājagaha qui, après que le Bouddha lui eut réinterprété le sens de la « triple science », entra dans l’Ordre et atteignit en temps voulu l’état d’arahant.
A brahmin of Rājagaha, evidently different from the above, also a fire-tender. He prepares a meal for sacrifice, and when the Buddha, out of compassion for him, appears before his house for alms, he says the meal is meant only for one who has the “threefold lore” (the three Vedas). The Buddha gives the brahmin another interpretation of the “threefold lore;” (see Aggika Sutta). The brahmin, thereupon, becomes a convert, enters the Order, and, in due course, attains Arahantship. S.i.166 f; SA.i.179.
