Dummukha
Person一位離車族酋長,目睹尼犍陀薩遮迦在與佛陀辯論中落敗後,將他比作被村童從池中拽出、任意戲弄的螃蟹;註釋指出,儘管其名意為「醜陋」,他本人其實相貌堂堂。
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.
