Document Details : Title: The Kāṇva Brāhmaṇas and Buddhists in Kosala Author(s): BAUSCH, Lauren M. Journal: Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies Volume: 41 Date: 2018 Pages: 27-53 DOI: 10.2143/JIABS.41.0.3285738 Abstract : The Buddha was born and raised in the region of Kosala, where thrived the Vedic school of the Kāṇvas. The Kāṇvas inherited Yājñavalkya’s teachings in their recension of the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa. The Vedic influence of the Kāṇvas on early Buddhism is evident in the Buddha’s teachings in the Suttanipāta. This paper explores evidence for the close relationship between the Kāṇva brāhmaṇas and the early Buddhists in Kosala. |
