lomasakaṅgiya

A monk whose Theragāthā verse says that, thrusting aside grasses with his chest, he will seek seclusion. Thag.27

According to the Lomasakaṅgiya Bhaddekaratta Sutta, MN.iii.199f. Candana visited Lomasakaṅgiya in the Nigrodhārāma in Kapilavatthu, and questioned him on the Bhaddekaratta Sutta. When Lomasakaṅgiya again confessed his ignorance, Candana taught him the verses, and then the former packed his bedding and went to Sāvatthī, where the Buddha, at his request, taught him the Sutta.
