Dāṭhāvedhaka untranslated

Dāṭhāvedhaka. The Mahā Vaṁsaṭīkā mentions (Mhv­ṭ.176) two Theras of this name, one a resident of the Kurundacullaka pariveṇa, and the other of the Kolambahālaka pariveṇa. They lived in the time of Bhāgineyya Dāṭhopatissa, and about fifty years after the secession of the Sāgalikā from the Dhammaruci-nikāya they set up a school of their own, in which they borrowed the Ubhatovibhaṅga from the Dhammarucikas and the Khandaka and Parivāra from the Sāgalikas.
