In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesHe belonged to a clansmans family of Magadha, and, because of his predisposition to renunciation, left domestic life and joined sectarian ascetics. Dissatisfied with them and seeing the happiness enjoyed by Upatissa, Kolita, Sela and others, after they had joined the Order, he too became a monk under the Buddha, winning the favour of his teachers. He went into solitude with an exercise for meditation, and soon afterwards attained arahantship.
In the time of Kassapa Buddha he belonged to a very rich family of Benares, and, after hearing the Buddha preach, rubbed the Buddhas Gandhakuti eight times a month with the four kinds of perfumes. As a result of this, he was born, in all his births, with a fragrant body (Thag.vss.320-4; ThagA.i.405f).
He is probably identical with Culasugandha of the Apadana. Ap.ii.508f; but see ThagA.i.80 and Ap.ii.459.
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).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
