In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
1. Vaddha. A Licchavi. He was a friend of the Mettiyabhummajaka, and, at their instigation, charged Dabba Mallaputta with having committed adultery with his wife. Dabba repudiated the charge, and the Buddha ordered the monks to proclaim the pattanikkujjana on Vaddha. When Ananda visited Vaddha and told him this news he fell in a faint, and, later, visited the Buddha with his family to ask for forgiveness. He was ordered to go before the Sangha and confess his error, after which the sentence was revoked. Vin.ii.124ff.
He is probably identical with Vaddhamana Thera.
2. Vaddha Thera. He belonged to a householders family of Bharukaccha. His mother (Vaddhamata) left the household, entrusting him to her kinsfolk, joined the Order and became an arahant. Vaddha became a monk under Veludatta and developed into an eloquent preacher. One day he visited his mother alone and without his cloak, and was rebuked by her. Agitated by this, he returned to his monastery, and, during his siesta, developed insight, attaining arahantship.
ThagA.i.413f. Six of his verses appear in Thag.335-9; ep. Thig.210-12.
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).

Vaḍḍha, (nt.) (fr. vṛdh) wealth, riches J. III, 131 (vaḍḍhaṃ vaḍḍhataṃ, imper.). Or should we read vaṭṭa? ‹-› Vaḍḍha is used as Np. at KhA 119, perhaps in meaning “prosperous. ” (Page 595)
