鹿頭梵志 [lu tou fan zhi]—Deer-Head Brahman — [Proper Noun] The Ekottara Āgama Sūtra (增一阿含經 [zeng yi a han jing]), Chapter 20, states: "There was a Deer-Head Brahman who, by tapping various skulls, could discern the circumstances of each death and their subsequent rebirths, but when he tapped the skull of an Arhat (罗汉 [luo han]), he could not discern its whereabouts." The story of Jīvaka (耆域 [qi yu]) is similar to this.
鹿頭梵志—【人名】增一阿含經二十曰：「有鹿頭梵志，叩諸髑髏知各死相及其生處，但叩羅漢髑髏不知其所。」耆域之事與此相同。
