OtherAlso known as Vedañña
궁술 기예로 유명한 삭까족의 한 씨족으로, 부처님이 빠사디까경을 설하신 망고 숲의 학원에서 훈련받았으며 사마가마에 살았던 것으로 보인다
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.
