Note: This appendix is extracted from Chapter XLI part 1.2 (detailed commentary on the list of the eighteen special attributes):

鈥�(4. The Buddha has no notion of variety) ...See for example this stranger, the dung-sweeper called 狈颈-迟鈥檕 (狈墨迟丑补): the Buddha converted him and he became a great Arhat鈥�.

狈墨迟丑补 (?) was a refuse-sweeper. His long hair hung down in disorder; he was filthy and his clothes were in tatters. When he found a rag on his way, he used it to mend his garments. On his back he carried a jar full of refuse. One day when the Buddha was visiting 搁腻箩补驳峁沨补, 狈墨迟丑补, lowly and impure, did not dare to come near him for fear of increasing his misdeeds further. He took flight across the city, but at each corner the Buddha appeared before him. The Teacher said to him: 鈥淎lthough your body is impure, your heart possesses the excellent and wonderful perfume of the Dharma. You must not think of yourself as lowly.鈥� Having received the Buddha鈥檚 teaching, 狈墨迟丑补 entered the religious life and became an arhat.

The name of the dung-sweeper is poorly established: 狈墨迟丑补 or 狈墨迟丑颈 in the fragments of the Kalpan膩ma峁囜笉itik膩, 厂耻苍墨迟补 in 笔腻濒颈, 狈颈-迟鈥檕 and 狈颈-迟鈥檌 in the Chinese transcriptions. His story is told in the following sources:

Kalpan膩ma峁囜笉itik膩, p. 158鈥�160 (very mutilated fragments) and Sutr膩la峁僰膩ra said to be by 础艣惫补驳丑辞峁�a, T 201, no. 43, k. 7, p. 203c鈥�297a (transl. Huber, p. 192鈥�210): 罢丑别谤补驳腻迟丑腻, p. 63鈥�64, v. 620鈥�631, and its commentary (tr. Rhys Davids, Psalms of the Brethren, p. 271鈥�274); Hien yu king, T 202, k. 6, no. 35, p. 397a鈥�390a; Tch鈥檕u yao king, T 212, k. 19, p. 710a1鈥揷1.

狈墨迟丑补 is also mentioned in passing in the Hien yu king, T 202, k. 4, p. 377a12, and the Sarv膩stiv膩davinayavibha峁単a, T 1442, k. 42, p. 858a28鈥�29.
