(kuRqopaDAnIyaka, kuRqopaDAnIyaka)
Kuṇḍopadhānīyaka¦, lit. app. using a water-jar for a pillow (so BR), ep. of Pūrṇa (4), q.v.: Divy 44.8; 45.1, where he is declared by the Buddha to be the first of receivers of food-tickets (śalākā, 3, q.v.) among his disciples. This identifies him with Pali Kuṇḍa-dhāna (see DPPN s.v.), a name also applied in DPPN to 1 Puṇṇa; Kuṇ° seems to be his regular name, but it is said to have been originally Dhāna, and the prefixation of Kuṇḍa-is ex- plained in a way which would not fit the BHS epithet.
