[Buddha-l] Vaitulyakas

[jkirk]

This entry adds that there was actually a vetulla pitaka, considered as 
heretical:
The Vetulla Pitaka, the canon of the Vetullavadins, is condemned as 
abuddhavacana.
E.g., SA.ii.150; cf. Sp.iv.742, where it is called Vedalha Pitaka.

===========================================

..... The name Vetulyaka pops up from time to time, especially in Abhidharma 
literature, negatively, when an author wants to dismiss an unacceptable 
claim by associating the maker of such a claim with these Vetulyakas. Some 
have suggested that Vaitulya is a synonym for Vaipuulya, which is often used 
in Indian Abhidharma and early debate literature as a synonym for 
Mahaayaana. See, e.g., P. Jaini, "On the Theory of Two Vasubandhus," BSOAS, 
21, 1/3. 1958, pp. 48-53, in which he offers some evidence for that 
equivalence.
