Kāḷakhemaka

Place

खेमक नामक एक शाक्य, जिसे सांवले रंग के कारण काळखेमक कहा जाता था, जिसने कपिलवत्थु के निकट एक विहार बनवाया जहाँ बुद्ध ने महासुञ्ञत सुत्त का उपदेश दिया।

A Sakyan. His name was Khemaka, but as he was dark he was called Kāḷakhemaka. He built a monastery in Nigrodhārāma, near Kapilavatthu, and once, during robe-making time, many monks lived there. On this occasion the Buddha taught the Mahāsuññatā Sutta. M.iii.109; MA.ii.906.
