Kāḷahatthi
Person《Mahāsutasoma Jātaka》中食人王 Porisāda 的大臣,曾劝其退位,待其戒除食人恶习后又协助他复位,此大臣被认作是舍利弗的前生。
Commander-in-chief of Porisāda, the man-eating king, mentioned in the Mahāsutasoma Jātaka. When Kāḷahatthi discovered the king’s wickedness, he persuaded him to leave the city, and gave over the sovereignty to the king’s son. Some time later, when Sutasoma had cured Porisāda of his cannibalistic tendencies, Kāḷahatthi agreed to restore him to the throne (J.v.460-70; 508 ff).
Kāḷahatthi is identified with Sāriputta (J.v.511). In several places (e.g., J.v.461, 465, 468) he is addressed as Kāḷa. Porisāda is identified with Aṅgulimāla.
