鴦崛摩羅（此云指以為鬘花外道也殺人取指以為花鬘為欠一指路中見佛拔刀走趁口云住住大沙門白淨王太子我是鴦崛摩應當稅一指世尊徐步引至伽藍聞法出家便令受戒此出鴦崛摩經）。

Aṅgulimāla (This means "Garland of Fingers." He was a non-Buddhist who killed people and took their fingers to make flower garlands. Falling short by one finger, he saw the Buddha on the road, drew his sword, and ran after him, shouting: "Stop, stop, Great Śramaṇa, prince of King Śuddhodana! I am Aṅgulimāla; you must render me one finger!" The World-Honoured One walked leisurely and led him to the saṅghārāma; upon hearing the Dharma, he renounced the household life and was at once ordained. This appears in the Aṅgulimālīya-sūtra).
