Vedhañña
OtherAlso known as Vedañña
Ein Clan der Sakyer, bekannt für ihre Fertigkeit im Bogenschießen, der an einer Schule in einem Mangohain ausgebildet wurde, wo der Buddha das Pāsādika Sutta lehrte, und der offenbar in Sāmagāma lebte
A clan of Sākyā.
Buddhaghosa says (DA.iii.905) they were skilled in archery (hence their name the “Archers”). They learnt their craft in a technical college (sippuggahanapāsāda) built in a mango grove.
It was there that the Pāsādika Sutta was taught (D.iii.17).
From the Sāmagāma Sutta (M.ii.244) it would appear that these Sākyā lived in Sāmagāma.
