Dhuta (and Dhūta) [cf. Sanskrit dhuta and dhūta, past participle of dhunāti] 1. shaken, moved Dāṭh V 49 (vāta°). 2. literally "shaken off," but always explained in the commentaries as "one who shakes off" either cvil dispositions (kilese), or obstacles to spiritual progress (vāra, nīvaraṇa). The word is rare. In one constantly repeated passage (Vin I 45 = 305 = II 2 = III 21 = IV 213) it is an adjective opposed to kāsajja lazy, remiss; and means either scrupulous or punctilious. At D I 5 it is used of a pain. At Snp 385 we are told of a dhuta-dhamma, meaning a scrupulous way of life, first for a bhikkhu, then for a layman. This poem omits all higher doctrine and confines itself to scrupulousness as regards minor, elementary matters. Cf. Vism 61 for a definition of dhuta. -aṅga a set of practices leading to the state of or appropriate to a dhuta, that is to a scrupulous person. First occurs in a title suffixed to a passage in the Parivāra deprecating such practices. The passage occurs twice (Vin V 131, 193), but the title, probably later than the text, is added only to the 2nd of the two. The passage gives a list of 13 such practices, each of them an ascetic practice not enjoined in the Vinaya. The 13 are also discussed at Vism 59 f. The Milinda devotes a whole book (chap. VI) to the glorification of these 13 dhutaṅgas, but there is no evidence that they were ever widely adopted. Some are deprecated at M I 282, and examples of one or other of them are given at Vin III 15; Bv I 59; Ja III 342; IV 8; Miln 133, 348, 351; Vism 59 (°kathā), 65 (°cora), 72 (the same), 80 (definition); Pj II 494; Dhp-a I 68; II 32 (dhūtaṅga); IV 30. Nidd I 188 says that 8 of them are desirable; -dhara mindful of punctiliousness Miln 342 (āraññaka dh. jhāyin); -vata the vow to perform the dhutaṅgas Dhp-a VI 165; -vāda one who inculcates punctiliousness S II 156; A I 23; Miln 380; Vism 80; Thig-a 69; Dhp-a II 30; -vādin = °vāda Ja I 130.
