Kāḷahatthi
Person《마하수타소마 자타카》에 등장하는 식인왕 포리사다의 총사령관으로, 왕에게 퇴위를 권했고 이후 식인 습성을 고친 왕이 왕위를 되찾도록 도왔다. 사리풋타의 전생으로 여겨진다.
Commander-in-chief of Porisāda, the man-eating king, mentioned in the Mahāsutasoma Jātaka. When Kāḷahatthi discovered the king’s wickedness, he persuaded him to leave the city, and gave over the sovereignty to the king’s son. Some time later, when Sutasoma had cured Porisāda of his cannibalistic tendencies, Kāḷahatthi agreed to restore him to the throne (J.v.460-70; 508 ff).
Kāḷahatthi is identified with Sāriputta (J.v.511). In several places (e.g., J.v.461, 465, 468) he is addressed as Kāḷa. Porisāda is identified with Aṅgulimāla.
