1. Kālaka. A setthi of Sāketa. His son
was the husband of Cūla-Subhaddā and
therefore son-in-law of Anāthapindika.
Kālaka was a follower of the Niganthas. When
the Buddha visited Sāketa, at the request of Cūla-Subhaddā, Kālaka listened to
his sermon and became a sotāpanna. He
gave his park, the Kālakārāma, to the Buddha, and
built a vihāra there after removing, by force, the Niganthas, who were in
possession.
AA.ii.482f; but see DhA.iii.465f, where the setthi's name is given as Ugga of
Uggapura; see also Dvy.402, where the name of the city is Pundavardhana and that
of Anāthapindika's daughter Sumāgadhā.
2. Kālaka. Senāpati of King Yasapāni of Benares, a previous birth of
Devadatta. The story is given in the
Dhammaddhaja Jātaka. J. ii.186ff
3. Kālaka.See Ayya-Kālaka.
4. Kālaka. See A.v.164, Sutta No. lxxxvii. Is Kālaka here a proper
name or a generic name (Kālaka-bhikkhu) meaning a wicked monk?
I am inclined to take it as the latter. See
Kālaka(-bhikkhu) Sutta.
