Kāḷaka
Person사케타의 백만장자이자 니간타파 신봉자로, 그의 아들은 아나타핀디카의 손녀 출라수밧다와 결혼했다. 부처님의 설법을 듣고 예류과에 들었으며, 자신의 정원에서 니간타파를 강제로 몰아내고 카라카라마로서 부처님을 위한 사원 건립을 위해 그것을 기증했다.
A millionaire (seṭṭhi) of Sāketa. His son was the husband of Cūḷa-Subhaddā (q.v.) and therefore son-in-law of Anāthapiṇḍika. Kāḷaka was a follower of the Nigaṇṭhā. When the Buddha visited Sāketa, at the request of Cūḷa-Subhaddā, Kālaka listened to his discourse and became a Stream-winner (sotāpanna). He gave his park, the Kāḷakārāma, to the Buddha, and built a vihāra there after removing, by force, the Nigaṇṭhā, who were in possession.
AA.ii.482 f; but see DhA.iii.465 f, where the millionaire’s name is given as Ugga of Uggapura; see also Dvy.402, where the name of the city is Puṇḍavardhana and that of Anāthapiṇḍika’s daughter Sumāgadhā.
