In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThis is given as the title of the four hundred and forty first Jataka and it is there stated that it will be described in the Punnaka Jataka (J.iv.14).
No such separate Jataka exists and it is, probably, another name for the Vidhurapandita Jataka, which, in its present form, seems to be a conglomeration of various legends which were once separate stories, each with its own title. The Catuposathika Jataka was evidently one such story, which was later included in the Vidhura Jataka, as its first section, and came to be known as the Catuposathikakhanda (see below) of that Jataka. The first stanza of the Catuposathika Jataka is quoted in the Catuposathika khanda. J.vi.257.
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).
