Bhaggavagotta

A clothed Wanderer (channaparibbājaka) (DA.iii.816), who lived in a pleasance near Anupiyā.

He was a friend of Sunakkhatta (q.v.).

The Buddha once visited him, and their conversation is recorded in the Pātika Sutta (q.v.) (D.iii.1ff).

He was evidently so called because he belonged to the gotta named Bhaggava (? potters).
