Māgandika,
(1) = Mākandika (Pali Māgandiya): in the ‘Skt. Suttanipāta’, Hoernle, JRAS 〔1916.714—5〕
(2) as common noun, in Mv 〔iii.412.7〕 (prose), applied to some kind of heretical (brahmanical) ascetics or sectarians, in a cpd., after parivrājakā, traidaṇḍika-mānandika-(so mss., read māga°, or māka°?)-guruputraka-gautama- etc.
cf. Pali AN 〔iii.276.32 f.〕, similar list, paribbājako māgaṇḍiko tedaṇḍiko aviruddhako gotamako, etc.
the word māgaṇḍika (note ṇḍ) is not recorded in PTSD or Childers
it seems doubtful whether it is related to the n. pr. Māgandika (1).
