Khujjasobhita2

Person

在毗舍離宣佈十事的東方派比丘之一,有時被誤認為與前一位同名阿羅漢是同一人。

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.
