Sabhiya3

Person

एक परिव्राजक, संभवतः सभिय (2) के समान, जिसने ञातिक में वच्छगोत्त के साथ बुद्ध के मृत्यु के बाद अस्तित्व जैसे प्रश्नों पर एक अभिलिखित वार्तालाप किया।

A wanderer (paribbājaka), perhaps identical with Sabhiya (2). The Saṃyuttanikāya (S.iv.401 f) records a discussion that took place at Ñātika between him and Vacchagotta on various questions, such as the existence of the Buddha after death, etc. In this sutta, Sabhiya is addressed as Kaccāna, and he says that he had then been three years in the Order. It is probably this same wanderer who is referred to as Sabhiya-Kaccāna in the Anuruddha Sutta. M.iii.148 f.
