Ghaṭikāra¦, MSV Ghaṭī° (= Pali Ghaṭīkāra), n. of a potter who was a disciple of the Buddha Kāśyapa, Mv i.319.9 ff.; 326.10 ff., and later became one of the Śuddhāvāsa gods, in which capacity he with others of that class of gods fashioned magically the Four Sights for the Bodhisattva Śākyamuni to see, Mv ii.150.16; 152.10 ff.; MSV i.217.12 (called Nandīpāla). He lived at Veruḍiṅga or Vebha°, Vaibhiḍiṅgī, the later Māra- karaṇḍa, qq.v. Several parts of his legend (not, apparently, his part in creating the Four Sights) recur in Pali, see DPPN.
