12.55

難頭和難頭 Sanskrit words, the names of two nāga kings, here crudely and inelegantly rendered. The correct Sanskrit pronunciation is Nanda (with nán in the rising tone), which is the name of the elder brother; and Upananda (with nán in the rising tone), which is the name of the younger brother. These are the two brother nāga kings Nanda and Upananda mentioned across the sūtras.
