沒特伽羅子 [mei te jia luo zi]—Maudgalyāyanaputra – [Personal name] also known as Maudgalyāyanaputra (沒刀伽羅子 [mei dao jia luo zi]). Maudgalyāyana (沒特伽羅 [mei te jia luo]) is translated as a surname meaning "taking mung beans" (取綠豆 [qu lu dou]), "taking broad beans" (取胡豆 [qu hu dou]), or "picking beans" (採菽 [cai shu]). In ancient times, there was an immortal who subsisted on mung beans. This lineage of immortals was called Maudgalyāyana (沒特伽羅 [mei te jia luo]). He was born of a mother with the Maudgalyāyana (沒特伽羅 [mei te jia luo]) surname, hence he is called Maudgalyāyanaputra. He was the bhikṣu among the Buddha's disciples who was foremost in supernatural powers (神通第一 [shen tong di yi]). He was formerly known as Moggallāna (目犍連 [mu jian lian]); see the entry for Mahāmaudgalyāyana (摩訶目犍連 [mo he mu jian lian]). He also refers to Moggaliputta-Tissa (目犍連子帝須 [mu jian lian zi di xu]) of the Third Buddhist Council (第三結集 [di san jie ji]); see the appendix of the entry for the Buddhist Councils (結集 [jie ji]).
沒特伽羅子—【人名】Maudgalyāyanaputra，又作沒刀伽羅子。沒特伽羅者，譯言取綠豆，取胡豆，採菽等姓也。上古有仙，取綠豆而食，此仙種，云沒特伽羅。依沒特伽羅姓之母而生，故曰沒特伽羅子。佛弟子中神通第一之比丘是也。舊稱目犍連，見摩訶目犍連條。又為第三結集之目犍連子帝須，見結集條附錄。(摩訶目犍連)(結集)
