【Kalandaka】 The *Samantapāsādikā* and the *Jinglü yixiang* state: "It is the name of a mountain squirrel. At that time, the King of Vaiśālī entered the mountains and fell asleep under a tree. There was a large venomous snake about to come out and harm the king. Under this tree, a squirrel came down and chirped to awaken the king. The king was grateful for its kindness and provided the food of an entire village to offer to this mountain squirrel, subsequently naming this village Kalandaka. In this village there was an elder who possessed forty billion gold coins; the king conferred a title upon the elder, and because of this village, he was called Elder Kalandaka." The *Biography of the Tripiṭaka Master* states: "The owner of the grove was named Kalandaka. He had previously given this grove to non-Buddhists, but later, upon seeing the Buddha and hearing the profound Dharma, he regretted not having been able to offer the grove to the Tathāgata. At that time, the earth deity knew his intention and manifested disasters and prodigies to terrify the non-Buddhists and drive them out, declaring: 'The elder wishes to offer the grove to the Buddha; you must leave quickly.' The non-Buddhists departed in anger, and the elder, filled with joy, erected a vihāra and went in person to invite the Buddha."
