8.9

Great Bean Gatherer (大採菽氏: formerly, retaining the Sanskrit, he was called 大目乾連 [Mahāmaudgalyāyana], or 俱律陁, or 拘隷多, or 俱利迦, which are all corruptions and abbreviations. The correct Sanskrit sound is Mahāmaudgalyāyana. An ancient ancestral ṛṣi gathered and ate mung beans, and thus took it as his lineage name. 螚 has the phonetic reading neng-de [fanqie]).
