Aggika-Bhāradvāja

Person

‘삼명’의 의미를 부처님이 새로이 풀어 주신 후 출가하여 마침내 아라한과를 얻은 라자가하의 배화 바라문.

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.
