A family of Sākiyans. 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 preached (D.iii.17). From the Sāmagāma Sutta (M.ii.244) it would appear that these Sākiyans lived in Sāmagāma. Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/vy/vedhanna.htm |
