Japanese: バッタケーラ(英語表記)Vaṭṭakera
Vaṭṭakera (English spelling)
A scholar of the Jain Kue sect (naturist sect). His birth and death dates are unknown, but he is believed to have been before the Kundakuda period (5th to 6th century). The Kue sect denied the authority of the Byakue sect scriptures and compiled a new scripture in vernacular language consisting of four sections: ancient texts, cosmological texts, philosophical (doctrinal compendium), and ritual (monastic) texts. Bhattakera contributed to the establishment of the new scriptures as the compiler of the two books in the last section, the Moolacara and the Trivarnacara.
