Vāseṭṭha3

Person

一個追溯其血統至仙人婆私瑟他的婆羅門氏族，備受尊崇，為拘屍那羅與波婆兩地末羅族人所共有。

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.
