Vedhañña
Vedhañña:A family of Sākiyans.Buddhaghosa says (DA.iii.905) they were skilled in archery (hence their name the ”Archers”).They learnt their craft in a technical college (sippuggahanapāsāda) built in a mango grove.
It was there that the Pāsādika Sutta was preached (D.iii.17).
From the Sāmagāma Sutta (M.ii.244) it would appear that these Sākiyans lived in Sāmagāma.
