Kāḷa3
Person아사디사 다나에서 왕의 아낌없는 보시에 슬퍼했던 파세나디 왕의 대신으로, 그의 원망을 감지한 부처님이 짧은 감사의 게송만을 읊어 그가 분노로 터지는 것을 막아주었으나, 후에 이유를 알게 된 왕이 그를 파면했다.
Minister of Pasenadi. He was grieved when the king spent his fortune in giving alms to the Buddha and his monks at the Asadisa-dāna; the Buddha, knowing his thoughts, spoke but a single stanza by way of thank offering at the end of the dāna lest Kāḷa’s head should split in seven pieces in anger. When the king learnt, on inquiry, why the Buddha had so acted, he dismissed Kāḷa from his service. DA.ii.654 f; DhA.iii.186-8; also ii.89.
