Anaritu - Anaritu

Japanese: 阿那律 - あなりつ
Anaritu - Anaritu

One of the ten great disciples of the Buddha (Shakyamuni). It is a transliteration of the Pali Anuruddha, and the correct translation is Anaritsuda. It is translated as Nyoi-ju. It is also transliterated as Aniruddha, and the original is presumed to be Aniruddha. It is translated as Nirvana. Years of birth and death unknown. Son of Amritodana, king of the Shakya people, and brother of Mahānāma. Anari fell asleep while the Buddha was preaching, and was scolded for becoming a monk. He vowed never to sleep in front of the Buddha again, and eventually went blind. However, as a result, he is said to have gained the ability to see through things, and is called the "best in heavenly eyes." At the first gathering, he contributed to the compilation of the "Zoichi Agama."

Japanese:

仏陀(ぶっだ)(釈迦(しゃか))の十大弟子の一人。パーリ語アヌルッダAnuruddhaの音写で、正しくは阿那律陀(あなりつだ)と写す。如意と訳す。また阿尼盧陀(あにるだ)という音写もあり、その原語はアニルッダAniruddhaと推定される。そのときは無滅と訳す。生没年不詳。シャカ人の王甘露飯(かんろぼん)Amritodanaの子で、マハーナーマMahānāmaの兄弟。阿那律は、仏陀が説法していたとき居眠りをし、なんのために出家したのかと叱(しか)られて、以後仏陀の前では決して眠るまいと誓いをたて、ついに失明してしまったが、そのために天眼(てんげん)(見通す能力)を得たというエピソードが伝えられており、「天眼第一」といわれる。第1回結集(けつじゅう)においては『増一阿含(ぞういちあごん)』の集成に貢献した。
