Kāḷaka4

Person

A name in the Aṅguttaranikāya possibly used as a generic term for a wicked monk (Kāḷaka-bhikkhu) rather than a proper name.

See A.v.164, Sutta No.lxxxvii. Is Kāḷaka here a proper name or a generic name (Kāḷaka-bhikkhu) meaning a wicked monk?

I am inclined to take it as the latter. See Kāḷaka Suttasutta).
