Kosiya3
Personマガダのバラモン家出身の阿羅漢で、ヴィパッシー仏の時代にバンドゥマティー城の門番であったとき、仏に一片のサトウキビを供養したことがあり、後にサーリプッタの説法を聞いて阿羅漢果を得た。
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.
