In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA brahmin of Kosambi. Having heard the Buddha preach, he entered the Order. At that time the Kosambi monks had become contentious, but Gavaccha remained steadfast and attained to arahantship.
In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a labourer and, finding the monk Sujata looking for pieces of stuff for a robe, gave him his garment.
As a result, he was king of the devas thirty three times and king of men seven times (Thag.11; ThagA.i.55f). He is, perhaps, identical with Upaddhadussadayaka of the Apadana. Ap.ii.435f; but the same verses are, in ThagA. (i.266) also attributed to Herannakani.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
