In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAn arahant. In the time of Kassapa Buddha he belonged to a very rich family in Benares, and having heard the Buddha preach covered the Buddhas Gandhakuti eight times with the four kinds of fragrant stuff (catujatiyagandha). In this age he was born in Savatthi. While he was yet in his mothers womb the perfume of sandalwood spread from her body and on the day of his birth it filled the whole city; so it was also on the day of his ordination and on that of his death. He entered the Order on seeing the Buddha convert Sela and his followers (Ap.ii.508ff). He is probably identical with Subhuti Thera (ThagA.i.405). His legend seems to have become confused with that of Sugandha. See Ap.ii.459 and ThagA.i.80f.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
