L’un du Groupe des Six moines qui, avec Lohitaka, dirigea une faction coupable de diverses infractions à la discipline monastique à Jetavana tout en encourageant des vues hérétiques, bien que considéré comme le moins fautif des six.

One of the group of six monks (Chabbaggiyā). He and Lohitaka were leaders of a special group called the Paṇḍukalohitakā, who are mentioned as having been guilty of various offences against Vinaya rules (Vin.ii.1, 5, 6).

Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka lived at Jetavana and encouraged heretics by upholding their views. The Satapatta Jātaka was taught in reference to these two (MA.ii.668; J.ii.387).

They were the least evil of the group of six. Sp.iii.614.
