Aggika-Bhāradvāja

Person

「三明」の意味を仏陀に新たに解き明かされた後、出家してやがて阿羅漢果を得たラージャガハの拝火バラモン。

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.
