Vedhañña
OtherAlso known as Vedañña
释迦族的一支氏族，以善射著称，曾在芒果林中的一所技艺学院受训，佛陀即在此宣说《清净经》，据载他们居于娑摩村。
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.
