A Hīnayāna sect the [lang id =1028]正量部 correctly commensurate or logical school, very numerous and widely spread during the early centuries of our era. The [lang id =1028]三彌底部論 is in the Tripiṭaka. It taught "that a soul exists in the highest and truest sense", "that an arhat can fall from arhatship, that a god can enter the paths of the Order, and that even an unconverted man can get rid of all lust and ill-will" (Eliot, i, 260). It split into the three branches of Kaurukullakāḥ Āvantikāh, and Vātsīputrīyāḥ.
