Dīghatapassī untranslated

Dīghatapassī. A Nigaṇṭha, follower of Nātaputta. He once visited the Buddha at Nālandā, and there followed a discussion on actions and their efficiency. Dīghatapassī reported this discussion to Nātaputta and Upāli, who was listening, went, against the advice of Dīghatapassī, to the Buddha and challenged him to a discussion, at the end of which Upāli was converted (MN.i.371ff).

The Commentary (MN­a.ii.594) says that Dīghatapassī was long-limbed, hence his name.
