(26) In Udana Attha-katha, 8/5, Buddhaghosa gives the following explanation of 'sukara-maddava'.
nati-tarunassa natijiņņassa eka jetthakasukarassa pavatta mamsam.
Some 'non-meat' explanations of the word have been given. But Anguttara Nikaya (Pancaka Nipāta) gives support to Buddha's being a meat-eater. We have it that at the request of Grahapati Ugga, he took pig
meat.

ekahi dana tidivehi pūjità
ekā pana gandharapure mahiyati kålingaranjo vijite punekam
ekapana nagarajā maheti
cattalisa sama dantā kesa-loma ca sabbaso
deva harisam ekekam cakkavala parampara tti.
