Bhaddayānikā

An offshoot of the Vajjiputtaka heretics (Mhv.v.7; Dpv.v.46).

Their doctrines resembled those of the Dhammuttariyas; in birth is ignorance and in the arresting of birth is the arresting of ignorance (Rockhill, op. cit., 194).

They also held the view that the corruptions were put away by slices. Mrs. Rhys Davids, Points of Controversy, p. 130.
