DhammavÄdi


A monk who lived in the time of Kassapa Buddha.

After the Buddha’s death, another monk, AdhammavÄdi, was charged with having violated the rules of the Vinaya, and DhammavÄdi decided against him.

However, AdhammavÄdi succeeded in getting two others to give a verdict in his favour.

These two monks were later born as Hemavata and SÄtÄgira. SNA.i.195f.
