Dummukha

Person

一位离车族酋长,目睹尼犍陀萨遮迦在与佛陀辩论中落败后,将他比作被村童从池中拽出、任意戏弄的螃蟹;注释指出,尽管其名意为“丑陋”,他本人其实相貌堂堂。

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.
