Kaccāyana2
Person過去仏パドゥムッタラの時代のアラハンで、仏が略説した教えを詳しく解説できる者の中で第一人者と宣言された。この宣言が、その場に居合わせた一人の苦行者──後の大迦旃延──を奮い立たせ、同じ栄誉を志すきっかけとなった。
An Arahant. He was a disciple of Padumuttara Buddha, and was declared by him to be chief among those who could expound in detail what the Buddha stated in brief. It was this declaration made in the presence of Mahā-Kaccāna, which made the latter, in that birth an ascetic in Himavā, wish for a like proficiency for himself under a future Buddha. Ap.ii.464; ThagA.i.484.
