Dummukha
Personニガンタ・サッチャカが仏陀との議論で打ち負かされるのを見て、彼を池から引き出され村の少年たちに虐待される蟹にたとえたリッチャヴィ族の首長。注釈によれば、彼の名は醜いという意味であるにもかかわらず、実際にはかなりの美男子であったという。
A Licchavi chieftain. He was present at the discussion of the Nigaṇṭha Saccaka with the Buddha, and seeing Saccaka discomfited in the debate, Dummukha compared him to a crab pulled out of a pond and ill-treated by village boys (M.i.234).
The Commentary says (MA.i.459) that Dummukha (ugly) just happened to be his name. He was in reality quite handsome.
