Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA forest tract near the village of Parileyya.
There the Buddha retired and lived at the foot of the Bhaddasala, when unable to settle the dispute among the Kosambi monks.
The elephant Parileyya lived there and waited upon the Buddha (Vin.i.352f.; Ud.iv.5; DhA.i.47; iv. 26; UdA.250).
It is said (DhA.i.49), that the place derived its name from the fact that Parileyya looked after the Buddha, guarding him throughout the night, wandering about the forest till dawn, a stick in his trunk, in order to ward off danger.
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).
