Akkhakkhāyika
PlaceDuṭṭhagāmaṇī 치세 동안 Sri Lanka 의 Koṭṭa 산악 지역에서 일어난 기근으로, 다른 먹을거리가 없어 먹었던 akkha 열매의 이름을 따서 붙여졌다
A famine in the mountain-region of Koṭṭa in Sri Lanka, during the reign of Duṭṭhagāmaṇī.
The king sold his earrings and procured a meal for five Arahants (Mhv.xxxii.29-30). The famine was so called because nuts called akkha (Terminalia Bellerica) were eaten, which at other times were used as dice. In the Commentary, quoted by the Mahāvaṃsa Ṭīkā (p.593), the famine is called Pāsānachātaka.
