Majjhima untranslated

Majjhima. An Arahant. He went, after the Third Council, as preacher to the Himālaya country (Mhv.xii.6), accompanied by four others:

• Kassapagotta,
• Durabhissara,
• Sahadeva, and
• Mūlakadeva.

Dpv.viii.10; Mhv­ṭ. (317) has Dundubhissara for Durabhissara; Mbv. (115) agrees with Mhv­ṭ., but has Sahassadeva; Vin-a.(i.68) gives their names as Kassapagotta, Ālokadeva, Dundubhissara, and Sahadeva.

Majjhima preached the Dhammacakkappavattanasutta and eighty crores of persons became Sotāpannas. The five Elders, separately, converted five kingdoms, and each of them ordained one hundred thousand persons. Mhv.xii.41ff.
