AndhÄ

Mentioned in the SamantapÄsÄdikÄ (*), together with the Damiḷas, as being non-Ariyan (milakkha); the name is probably the same as Andhaka(Ä) (q.v.)

(*) i.255; see also VibhA.387-8, where the Andhaka-language is mentioned. In Buddhaghosa’s time the Vedas were taught in the Andha language also (MA.i.113).
