Kosiya3

Person

Архат из брахманской семьи в Магадхе, который, будучи привратником Бандхумати во времена будды Випасси, однажды преподнёс ему кусок сахарного тростника, а позднее достиг архатства, услышав наставление Сарипутты.

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.
