(= Pali pañcavaggiyā, or °ikā, with or without bhikkhū), the five first disciples of Buddha (Tibetan, e.g. on Lalitavistara 245.16, lṅa sde bzaṅ po, five good-class); no corresp. for bhadra seems ever to occur in this group in Pali, where bhadda- vaggiyā applies to a very different group, Malalasekara (Dictionary of Pali Proper Names): °gīya Lalitavistara 245.16; 264.17; 265.3; 404.7 etc.; 407.16 etc.; 416.15; Mahāvastu ii.241.2; iii.329.2, 6, 9, 14; 331.1; 335.12; 337.13; 353.14; 415.7 (in several of these v.l. °giya, in 331.1 °gīka, in 335.12 °gika); °giya iii.322.20 (v.l. °gīya); 323.4; 328.20; °gika iii.335.8 (so, or °gīka, mss.); 337.7, 16; 339.3; 353.17; 415.13; °gīka iii.337.10 (mss., no v.l.); pañcakānāṃ bhadra- vargikānāṃ jātakaṃ iii.356.19 (colophon). Their names given e.g. in Mahāvastu iii.328.20, and elsewhere, sometimes without the designation bhadrav°, as Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 1.9 f.; Lalitavistara 1.6—8; Sukhāvatīvyūha 2.2 f.; the approved forms seem to be Ājñātakauṇ- ḍinya, Aśvajit, Vāṣpa, Mahānāman (3), and Bhadrika (2), qq.v. for variants and Pali equivalents.

context information

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.
