In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA king. Lambaculaka was in his kingdom and Mendissara (q.v.) lived there with his followers (J.iii.463). But, elsewhere (J.v.133) we are told that LambacuIaka, was in the kingdom of Candappajjota. Does this mean that the kingdom of Candapajjota was identical with that of Pajaka?
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).
