Khujjasobhita2

Person

หนึ่งในภิกษุฝ่ายตะวันออกผู้ประกาศข้อผ่อนปรนสิบประการที่กรุงเวสาลี บางครั้งถูกเข้าใจผิดว่าเป็นบุคคลเดียวกับพระอรหันต์ผู้มีชื่อเดียวกันในยุคก่อน

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.
