DHARMAGUPTAKA
The term Dharmaguptaka means "those affiliated with the teacher Dharmagupta." The Dharmaguptaka mainstream Indian Buddhist school, a subschool of the Sthavira branch, is attested by inscriptions in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. The Dharmaguptakas possessed their own monastic disciplinary code (vinaya) and shared many doctrinal views attributed to the Vibhajyavādins.
