Lohicca

Person

阿槃提国摩伽罗迦多的一位婆罗门,其弟子前去辱骂僧众后转述大迦旃延的教诫,他因此皈依大迦旃延。

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.
