Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a
1. Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a.- A name by which the yakkha Pu盪盪aka (q.v.) is addressed (J.vi.299, 306, 308). It is a variant of Kaccﾄ］a. (J.vi.283, 286, 301, 327).
2. Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a.- The name of a clan (gotta), probably a variant of Kaccﾄ【ana, Kaccﾄ］a (q.v.)
3. Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a Thera.- The son of a. brahmin of the Kosiya-gotta in Sﾄ」atthi, he was called Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a after his mother窶冱 family. When his friend Sﾄ［aﾃｱﾃｱakﾄ］i joined the Order, he followed his example and exerted himself in meditation, sleeping but little. One night, overcome by sleep, he fell on the terrace where he was pacing to and fro, and the Buddha, seeing him, went himself to help him and urged him not to give up his efforts but to concentrate and contemplate. Aided by this admonition, Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a soon became an Arahant. The Buddha窶冱 discourse is included in the Theragﾄ》hﾄ (Thag.vv.411-16; ThagA.i.450f).
From the story of Sﾄ［aﾃｱﾃｱakﾄ］i, given in the Theragﾄ》hﾄ Commentary (i, p.99f), it would appear that Kﾄ》iyﾄ］a was, for some time, a homeless wanderer (paribbﾄ）aka). He was destitute, having, since the appearance of the Buddha, lost all his support from the laity. He therefore sought Sﾄ［aﾃｱﾃｱakﾄ］i and asked his advice, which he followed by joining the Order.
