Lohicca

Person

아완띠 마까라까따의 바라문으로, 비구들을 욕하러 보낸 자신의 제자들이 바라문 덕의 쇠퇴에 관한 깟짜나의 가르침을 전해오자 마하깟짜나의 신봉자가 되었다

A brahmin of Makkarakata in Avanti. Once when Mahā-Kaccāna was living there in a forest hut, a number of Lohicca’s pupils came there and began abusing the monks, calling them shavelings, menials, etc. Kaccāna talked to them, telling them how degenerate were the brahmins, differing from brahmins of old, the present ones being backsliders, mere reciters, doing things for trifling gains. The pupils went back to Lohicca and told him this. Lohicca visited Kaccāna and discussed with him these statements, and, at the end of the talk, declared himself Kaccāna’s follower. S.iv.117 ff.
