社怛梵 [she da fan]—Jatāvat — [School/Sect]. It is the name of a non-Buddhist (外道 [wai dao]) path. The Commentary on the Mahavairocana Sutra (大日經疏 [da ri jing shu]), Volume 1, states: "As for Jatāvat, it is said that their doctrines and tenets are largely similar to those of the 'Knowers' non-Buddhist school (知者外道 [zhi zhe wai dao]). However, because their factions (部黨 [bu dang]) are different, they are specifically distinguished."
