Dhutadharma (धुतधर्म).—m. pl. (= dhuta, °guṇa, dhūta- guṇa: compare Pali dhammaṃ dhutaṃ Sn 385, but the sequel shows that this is not used in the technical sense of Pali dhutaṅga; it is very vague and general; Childers cites a dhū- ta-dhamma but his references fail to show it), the qualities of the purified man: °māḥ Rāṣṭrapālaparipṛcchā 33.1 (verse); the disciple Kāśyapa is regularly called dhutadharma-dhara, maintainer of the…, Mahāvastu i.85.11 ff.; 105.12, 13, or the like, as °rma-dhārin Mahāvastu i.66.16; °rma-samaṅgin (see samaṅgin) i.71.16; in i.69.13 (verse) Senart reads evam ukte dhutadharmaviśuddho (Kā- śyapo…), mss. °rma-su-viśuddhaṃ; the syllable su is hypermetric, but the acc. °dhaṃ (tho certainly referring to K.) could perhaps stand as goal of ukte, it having been thus spoken to the one-that-was-purified-in-the-dhutadharma, K. (replied); Kāśyapa has similar epithets involving dhutaguṇa (dhū°), a fact which establishes their equi- valence of meaning with dhutadharma; and see also dhuta- dhara. Similarly in Pali, Mahā-Kassapa in Aṅguttaranikāya (Pali) i.23.19 is called dhuta-vādānaṃ (v.l. dhutaṅga-dharāṇaṃ) agga.

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.
