Akkosaka Bhāradvāja untranslated

Akkosaka Bhāradvāja. A Brahmin of Rājagaha who – incensed that his eldest brother, a member of the Bhāradvāja clan and probably its head, had been converted by the Buddha (KS.i.201, n.4; see also Dhānañjānī) – visits the Buddha and insults him. Later he is himself converted and becomes an Arahant (SN.i.161f.; MN­a.i.808). The soubriquet of Akkosaka was given him by the Saṅgītikārā to distinguish him as the author of a lampoon of 500 verses against the Buddha (SN­a.i.177).

Asurindaka Bhāradvāja was his younger brother (SN­a.i.178); he had two others, Sundarī Bhāradvāja and Bilaṅgika Bhāradvāja, who also became converts and, later, Arahants. Dhp­a.iv.163.
