gotra;
13. Arya Vagra of the Gautama gotra; 14. Arya Vagrasena of the Utkrishta gotra1. He had four disciples: Arya Nâgila, Årya Padmila, Arya Gayanta, and Arya Tâpasa, each of whom founded a Sâkhâ called after his name, viz. the Aryanâgila Sâkhâ, the Aryapadmilâ Sâkhâ, the Aryagayanti Sakhâ, and the Aryatâpasi Sâkhâ.

In the detailed redaction the list of Sthaviras after
Arya Yasobhadra is the following:
6. i. Ârya Bhadrabâhu of the Prâkîna gotra, who had four disciples of the Kâsyapa gotra : a. Godâsa, founder of the Godâsa Gana 2, which was divided into four Sâkhâs:
a. The Tâmraliptikâ Sâkhâ,
B. The Kotivarshiyâ Sâkhâ,
y. The Pundravardhaniyâ Sâkhâ, and
1 He is left out in some MSS.
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; Sâkhâ the lines which branch off from each teacher. These terms seem to be disused in modern times, for the four principal divisions called after Nâgendra, Kandra, Nivritti, and Vidyâdhara are generally called Kulas, but also occasionally Sâkhâs. They go back to Vagra according to some, to Vagrasena according to others. The modern Gakkha appears equivalent with the ancient Gana.
