Aggivessana

Person

可能是一个婆罗门氏族“阿祇毗舍衍那”之名,佛陀曾以此称呼萨遮尼犍子、长爪游行者及沙弥阿至罗筏多等人。

Probably the name of a brahmin clan, the Agnivesyāyanas, and the Ksatriyas who were so styled, took the name from their brahmin priests (purohita) (Further Dialogues, i.162 n).

The name is used by the Buddha in addressing Saccaka Nigaṇṭhāputta (M.i.229 f; 237 f), and also Dīghanakha Paribbājaka (M.i.497 f).

In the Dantabhūmi Sutta (M.iii.128 f) the novice Aciravata is thus addressed by Prince Jayasena, who visits him, and also by the Buddha.
