3.43

[Kumāra]jīva says: Ajita Kesakambala was his personal name; kambala means coarse clothing. This man gave rise to the view of conceiving as causes what are not causes: wearing coarse hide garments, plucking out his hair, smoking his nose, and the like, taking various ascetic practices to be the path. [Seng]zhao says: Ajita was his personal name; kesakambala is the name of coarse, tattered clothing. This man wore tattered clothes, plucked out his own hair, and scorched his body with the five fires, taking ascetic practices to be the path. He asserted that if one suffers all at once in this present body, in the next body one will enjoy constant pleasure.
