mAgandika
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).
