gotraBU · adjective or masculine neuter · gotrabhū 3
Gotrabhū "become of the lineage"; a technical term used from the end of the Nikāya period to designate one, whether layman or bhikkhu, who, as converted, was no longer of the worldlings (puthujjanā), but of the Ariyas, having Nibbāna as his aim. It occurs in a supplementary Sutta in the Majjhima (Vol. III 256), and in another, found in two versions, at the end of the Aṅguttara (A IV 373 and V 23). Defined at Pp 12, 13 and Vism 138; amplified at Paṭis I 66-68, frequent in Paṭṭhāna (Tikap. 154 f., 165, 324 etc.), mentioned at Vv-a 155. On the use of gotrabhū in medieval psychology see Aung, in Cpd , 66-68. ZDMG 128 (1978), 326 f. ; JPTS IX (1981), 175 f. ; Cf. the use of upanissaya at Ja I 235. — °ñāṇa, Pp-a 184; Vism 673. ā° Vism 683.
