Dhammagutta untranslated

Dhammagutta 01. Dhammagutta Thera. An Arahant. He lived in the Kalyāṇikavihāra and was known as the “earth-shaker” (paṭhavicālaka). He was among those who received a share of the meal given by Duṭṭhagāmaṇī when the latter fled from Cūḷaṅganiyapiṭṭhi. He shared his portion with five hundred others (Mhv.xxxii.50; xxiv.24ff). According to the Jātaka Commentary (Ja.iv.490), he was among those who joined in the assemblies (samāgama) known as Kuddalasamāgama, Mūgapakkhasamāgama, Ayogharasamāgama and Hatthipālasamāgama. The Mahā Vaṁsaṭīkā (p.606) mentions him as being one of those who accepted the meal of pork given by Sāliya and his wife, when they were blacksmiths, in their birth immediately preceding the last.

Dhammagutta 02. A brother of Vedisadevī. He was one of the nobles who escorted the Bodhi-tree. He was made Moriyaseṭṭhi and given the Moriyajanapada by Devānampiyatissa. Mbv.166.

Dhammaguttā 01. Dhammaguttikā. A secondary division of the Mahiṁsāsakas (Dpv.v.47; Mhv.v.8; Mbv.p.96), probably an offshoot of the Sabbatthivādīs. They had a special Vinaya of their own. According to Tibetan sources (Rockhill, pp.185, 192), they were called after their leader, Dharmagupta. Their fundamental doctrines were these: that the Buddha is not comprised in the Saṅgha; that while there is great reward for offerings made to the Buddha, there is none for offerings to the Saṅgha; that a life of brahmacariya exists also among the Devas; and that there are worldly laws as opposed to spiritual.

Dhammaguttā 02. A Vemānikapeta, mentioned as having the power of travelling through the air. Vsm.382.
