Upatissagāma
PersonUn village brahmane près de Rājagaha, lieu de naissance de Sāriputta, dont le nom d origine Nālaka fut remplacé par Upatissagāma parce que ses chefs, probablement dont le propre père de Sāriputta, appartenaient au clan Upatissa.
A brahmin village near Rājagaha. It was the birthplace of Sāriputta (ThagA.ii.93; DhA.i.73). Its real name was Nālaka (q.v.), but it was called Upatissagāma, evidently because its chieftains belonged to the Upatissa clan. It is probable that Sāriputta’s father, who was head of the village (gāmasāmi), was also called Upatissa. See SnA.i.326.
