Paṇḍuka

Other

Einer der Gruppe der Sechs Mönche, der zusammen mit Lohitaka eine Fraktion anführte, die im Jetavana verschiedener Verstöße gegen die Ordensdisziplin schuldig war und häretische Ansichten förderte, obwohl er als der am wenigsten fehlgeleitete der sechs galt.

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.
