Indasamānagotta
Indasamānagotta:A hermit who lived,with a large number of other anchorites,in the Himālaya.He had a young elephant which he had reared; being headstrong and rough in speech,he would not listen to the warning of his teacher,the Bodhisatta,that it was dangerous to have such a pet.Once while the hermits were away the elephant was seized with a frenzy,and when his master returned it killed him (J.ii.41-3).
Perhaps the man’s name was Kosiya,because we are told (J.vi.501) that Inda was of the Kosiyagotta.
Kātiyāna,who was a brahmin of the Kosiyagotta (ThagA.i.450),is addressed in a verse (416) of the Theragāthā as Indasagotta.
