क्रकुछन्द (krakuchanda)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
Kraku(c)chanda,
(1) (= Pali Kakusaṃdha), also written Krakutsanda (Mv 〔i.2.6〕
v.l. 〔ii.302.22〕
v.l. 〔iii.246.9〕
〔iii.330.6〕
Gv 〔297.26〕

Mmk 〔68.27〕
〔426.9〕)
Kakucchanda, v.l. Kakutsanda, Karmav 〔65.7〕 and 〔76.14〕
in Mvy 〔90〕 Krakucchanda, 91 also Kakutsunda (but Mironov only the former, with v.l. °tsanda, reporting that 1 ms. adds and then deletes Krakutsunda)
the Tib. translation is regularly ḥkhor ba ḥjig, destroyer of the saṃsāra, which is given in Mvy 〔91〕, while 90 strangely gives log pa daṅ sel (which I have found nowhere else and cannot interpret) for Krakucchanda: n. of a former Buddha, almost invariably the third before Śākyamuni in the standard series (but in Mv 〔iii.231.3〕 a much earlier Buddha in a long list which later contains at 〔240.8〕 the same name in his regular position)
as such most commonly named with Kanakamuni (or equivalent form, see this) and Kāśyapa, the two Buddhas intervening between Kra° and Śākyamuni
in Mv 〔i.2.6〕 Kanakamuni is omitted, prob. by accident of tradition
sporadically the order is varied
