PersonEin Arahant aus einer Brahmanenfamilie in Magadha, der als Torwächter von Bandhumatī zur Zeit des Buddha Vipassī diesem einst ein Stück Zuckerrohr schenkte und später nach dem Zuhören bei Sāriputta die Arahantschaft erlangte.
An Arahant. He belonged to a brahmin family in Magadha and was called by his clan-name. He often listened to the teaching of Sāriputta and, joining the Order, in due course won Arahantship. He was a gate-keeper of Bandhumatī and in the time of Vipassī Buddha gave to the Buddha a piece of sugar-cane. (Thag.370-4; ThagA.i.431 f).
He is probably identical with Ucchukandika of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.393.
