Definition in this text:

The name of a monk identified as a contemporary of Śākyamuni who taught an impure Dharma. It is possible that this figure is synonymous with the teacher Nirgrantha Jñātiputra, one of the six famous heretical teachers that were contemporaries of the Buddha Śākyamuni. Nirgrantha Jñātiputra is often believed to have been associated with the Jain traditions.
