(kAtyAyana, kAtyAyana)
Kātyāyana¦ (= Pali Kaccāyana, Kaccāna; occurs Mv iii.382.13 and Divy 635.15 as n. of a brahmanical gotra, as in Skt.; perhaps the same is that mentioned Laṅk 361.1 as the gotra of the Buddha Viraja 2, q.v.), n. of an important disciple of the Buddha (Śākyamuni): Mv i.76.5 ff. (here he is made to deliver a discourse on the ten bhūmi); SP 152.3; Divy 11.29; 550.2; identical with Mahākātyāyana, which is commoner; in Divy 573.8 he appears to have the epithet (Ārya-) Kāśyapa, q.v. (or are they different persons?); Kātyāyanāvavāda MPS 29.15 (see Waldschmidt, p. 284 n.6).
