Vāseṭṭha3

Person

一个追溯其血统至仙人婆私瑟他的婆罗门氏族，备受尊崇，为拘尸那罗与波婆两地末罗族人所共有。

Name of a clan (gotta), probably tracing its descent to the sage Vāseṭṭha (Skt. Vasistha). In the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta (D.ii.147, 159) we find the Mallā of Kusinārā addressed as Vāseṭṭhā, as well as the Mallā of Pāvā (D.iii.209). It was a clan held in esteem (ukkaṭṭha), e.g., Vin.iv.8.
