Dīghanakha

He visited the Buddha at Sūkarakhatalena and the Buddha taught to him the Dīghanakha Sutta, at the end of which he became a Stream-winner (sotāpanna).

In the sutta he is addressed as Aggivessana (M.i.497f; ThagA.ii.95; DhA.i.79).

He was originally an Annihilationist (MA.ii.477). Perhaps he is the heretic brahmin, nephew of Sāriputta, who was admonished by Moggallāna because he expressed great repugnance at the sight of Kassapa. Thag.1108ff; ThagA.ii.180.
