Pāli Dictionary

Khujjasobhita2

Person

Einer der östlichen Mönche, die in Vesāli die zehn Erleichterungen verkündeten, manchmal fälschlich mit dem früheren gleichnamigen Arahant gleichgesetzt.

One of the Pācīnaka (“Eastern”) monks who proclaimed the ten indulgences at Vesāli. He was one of their representatives on the Committee of the Saṅgha appointed to settle the dispute between the monks of Vesāli and the orthodox monks (Vin.ii.305; Dpv.iv.44; v.25, 80).

According to the Mahāvaṃsa (iv.57; this passage is also found in the Samantapāsādikā i.34) this Khujjasobhita was a disciple of Ānanda and, therefore, to be identified with Khujjasobhita (1). The latter was, however, an Arahant, and therefore not likely to side with the Vesāli heretics. The identification is evidently incorrect also on other grounds, among them that of age.
