Kuṇḍopadhānīyaka (कुण्डोपधानीयक).—lit. app. using a water-jar for a pillow (so [Boehtlingk and Roth]), epithet of Pūrṇa (4), q.v.: Divyāvadāna 44.8; 45.1, where he is declared by the Buddha to be the first of receivers of food-tickets (śalākā, 3, q.v.) among his disciples. This identifies him with Pali Kuṇḍa-dhāna (see Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names) s.v.), a name also applied in Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names) to 1 Puṇṇa; Kuṇ° seems to be his regular name, but it is said to have been originally Dhāna, and the prefixation of Kuṇḍa-is ex- plained in a way which would not fit the [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] epithet.
