Paṇḍuputta.—An Ājīvaka. He came of a wagon-building stock of bygone days. In the Anaṅgana Sutta,¹ Moggallāna tells Sāriputta that, one day, when begging alms in Rājagaha, he came to the house of Samīti, the wagon builder who was shaping a felloe. Standing by was Paṇḍuputta, watching him and wishing that he should shape it without blemish. When Samīti did so, Paṇḍuputta expressed his joy, saying that Samīti had read his thoughts.
