In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesOne of the monks whom Devadatta incited to join him in stirring up discord among the Sangha, the others being Kokalika, Khandadeviputta and Samuddadatta (Vin.ii.196; iii.171). Katamorakatissa was held in high esteem by Thullananda, for we are told that one day, on arriving at a house where she was a constant visitor, and on being told that several of the Buddhas eminent disciples, such as Sariputta, Moggallana, Maha Kaccana, had also been invited, as they happened to be at Veluvana near by, she expressed great disappointment that these had been invited, when such most eminent disciples (mahanaga) as Devadatta, Katamorakatissa, etc., were available. Vin.iv.66.
On another occasion, wishing to ordain a nun who was going through a probationary course, she summoned the monks, but seeing a great quantity of food and wishing to let only her favourites enjoy it, she dismissed the monks on a false pretext, keeping with her only Devadatta, Katamorakatissa and their colleagues (Vin.iv.335).
Katamorakatissaka was one of the monks about whom dissatisfaction was expressed to the Buddha, by the two Pacceka brahma, Subrahma and Suddhavasa. S.i.148.
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).
