Vinaya Pitaka - Mahavibhanga text

Post by Ontheway »

Where can I find this story of Arahant Dabba Mallaputta Thera in Vinaya Pitaka, Mahavibhanga? I looked for it and no luck finding it.

The Pali name of the text is:
dabba mallaputta thera vatthu
Hiriottappasampannā,
sukkadhammasamāhitā;
Santo sappurisā loke,
devadhammāti vuccare.

Is this the story (stories) you are looking for?

Did you try this search?

I'm not familiar with the Pali name you give. It just means the story of the elder Dabba Mallaputta. I don't think the Vinaya has a standard naming system.

Did you check the citations in his entry in the DPPN?

Thank you very much.

I got the term from a random Facebook post on internet and thought Venerable Dabba Mallaputta is a very interesting character, that's why I wanted to read the original story....but when I search using that term, no result...

Thanks again.
