Kuṇḍopadhānīyaka, lit. app. using a water-jar for a pillow (so BR), ep. of Pūrṇa (4), q.v.: Divy 〔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 DPPN s.v.), a name also applied in DPPN 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 explained in a way which would not fit the BHS epithet.
