ii- Arya Suhastin of the Vâsishtha gotra; 9. Susthita and Supratibuddha, surnamed Ko
tika and Kakandaka, of the Vyâghrâpatya
gotra ; 10. Ârya Indradatta (Indadinna) of the Kausika
gotra; 11. Arya Datta (Dinna) of the Gautama gotra ; 12. Ârya Simhagiri Gâtismara of the Kausika
gotra; 13. Arya Vagra of the Gautama gotra; *14. Arya Vagrasena of the 'Utkrishta gotra?
He had four disciples: Ârya Nagila, Ârya Padmila, Arya Gayanta, and Arya Tâpasa, each of whom founded a Sâkhâ called after his name, viz. the Aryanâgilâ Sâkhâ, the Âryapadmilâ Sâkhâ, the Aryagayanti Sâkhâ, and the Âryatâpasi Sakhâ. (4)
In the detailed redaction the list of Sthaviras after Ârya Yasobhadra is the following: 6. i. Arya Bhadrabâhu of the Prâkîna gotra, who
had four disciples of the Kâsyapa gotra : a. Godâsa, founder of the Godâsa Gana",
which was divided into four Sâkhâs : a. The Tâmraliptikâ Sâkhâ, B. The Kotivarshîyâ Sâkhâ, y. The Pundravardhaniyâ Sakhâ, and
· He is left out in some MSS.
2 It is not quite clear what is meant by Gana, Kula, and Sâkhâ. Gana designates the school which is derived from one teacher ; Kula the succession of teachers in one line; Sakhâ the lines which branch off froin each teacher. These terms seem to be disused in modern times, for the four principal divisions called after Nagendra, Kandra, Nivritti, and Vidyâdhara are generally called Kulas, but also occasionally Såkhâs. They go back to Vagra according to some, to Vagrasena according to others. The modern Gakkha appears equivalent with the ancient Gana.
