[Bhāradvāja] is a clan name. Paramārtha says it means 'swift', and also 'sharp faculties', or 'broad speech'. The Benxing ji translates it as 'Heavy Banner'. There are eighteen Brahmin clans, and this is one of them. It is also said as Piṇḍola-bhāradvāja. The Gantong zhuan says: 'Nowadays there are those who make images of the holy monk Piṇḍola and set them up in chambers to make offerings; this too is one way. However, one must separately provide an empty seat, with a bowl placed before it. When it is time for the monastic meal, have a fully ordained monk accept it for him; it must not be set out using the monastery's platters and basins. For although ordinary and noble differ, neither touches monastic food vessels. If it is a lay household, one may proceed according to lay provisions.' Fearing that monks may not know this, it is appended and set forth here.
