Asurindaka-Bhāradvāja

Person

부처님께 귀의한 바라드와자 형제 중 세 번째 인물로, 부처님과의 만남은 아수린다경에 기록되어 있다.

One of the Bhāradvājas. His interview with the Buddha is described in the Asurinda Sutta.

He was the third of the Bhāradvāja brothers, all of whom eventually became followers of the Buddha (MA.ii.808).

“The name (demon-chief) is so pagan for a Brahmin” says Mrs. Rhys Davids (KS.i.203,n.2), and “the Buddha’s reply so suggestive of Sakka’s (in S.i.221) that a bifurcated or transferred legend seems fairly plausible.”
