Aparaselikas and Apararajagirikas.]
[Footnote 567: Published in the _J.P.T.S._ 1889. Trans, by S.Z. Aung and
Mrs Rhys Davids, 1915. The text mentions doctrines only. The names of
the sects supposed to hold them are supplied by the commentary.]
[Footnote 568: They must not be confused with the four philosophic
schools Vaibhashika, Sautrantika, Yogacara and Madhyamika. These came
into existence later.]
[Footnote 569: But the Vetulyakas were important in Ceylon.]

p. 290.]
[Footnote 571: See Rhys Davids in _J.R.A.S._ 1892, pp. 8-9. The name is
variously spelt. The P.T.S. print Sammitiya, but the Sanskrit text of
the Madhyamakavritti (in _Bibl. Buddh._) has Sammitiya. Sanskrit
dictionaries give Sammatiya. The Abhidharma section of the Chinese
Tripitaka (Nanjio, 1272) contains a sastra belonging to this school.
Nanjio, 1139 is apparently their Vinaya.]
[Footnote 572: Kern (_Versl. en Med. der K. Akad. van Wetenschappen
Letterk._ 4. R.D. VIII. 1907, pp. 312-319, cf. _J.R.A.S._ 1907, p. 432)
suggested on the authority of Kashgarian MSS. that the expression
Vailpulya sutra is a misreading for Vaitulya sutra, a sutra of the
Vetulyakas. Ananda was sometimes identified with the phantom who
represented the Buddha.]
[Footnote 573: It is remarkable that this view, though condemned by the
Katha-vatthu, is countenanced by the Khuddaka-patha.]
[Footnote 574: The Katha-vatthu constantly cites the Nikayas.]
[Footnote 575: Pali Sabbatthivadins.]

Sarvastivadins see below, Book IV. chap. XXII.]

by the Chinese pilgrim I-ching who saw in India statues of him in
monastic costume.]
