Koṣṭhila, also Mahā-k° and (Mahā-)Kauṣṭhila, qq.v. (= Pali Koṭṭhita or °ika or Mahā-k°, who was declared ‘first of the paṭisaṃbhidappatta’ among Buddhaʼs disciples, cf. below), a disciple of Buddha: in Av 〔ii.195.4〕 declared first of the pratisaṃvitprāpta
here and in 〔195.7, 196.9〕 (also called Mahā-k° 〔195.5〕) he is evidently identified with Dīrghanakha, q.v.
this identification not recorded in Pali but confirmed MSV 〔iv.15.14 ff.〕
it should be noted that in Pali (Mahā-)Koṭṭhita is intimately associated with Sāriputta, who in Av, MSV is a nephew of Dīrghanakha, [Page195-b] and who was present on the occasion of the Dīghanakha-sutta even in Pali (MN 〔i.497 ff.〕).
