Ashvajit
阿説示 (Skt; Pali Assaji; Jpn Asetsuji)

    One of the five ascetics who were Shakyamuni's first converts. While begging for alms in Rajagriha in India after his conversion, he happened to encounter Shariputra, who, impressed with Ashvajit's bearing and integrity, decided to embrace Shakyamuni's teachings.

See also; five ascetics.
