James Legge translation
(8) One of the five first followers of Sâkyamuni. He is also called Asvajit; in Pâli Assaji; but Asvajit seems to be a military title= “Master or trainer of horses.” The two more famous disciples met him, not to lead him, but to be directed by him, to Buddha. See Sacred Books of the East, vol. xiii, Vinaya Texts, pp. 144-147.
