Tath!gata
Tath!gata [Derivation uncertain. Buddhaghosa (DA i.59 -- 67) gives eight explanations showing that there
was no fixed tradition on the point, and that he himself was in doubt]. The context shows that the word is
an epithet of an Arahant, and that non -- Buddhists were supposed to know what it meant. The compilers of
the Nik!yas must therefore have considered the expression as pre -- Buddhistic; but it has not yet been
found in any pre -- Buddhistic work. Mrs. Rhys Davids (Dhs. tr. 1099, quoting Chalmers J.R.A.S. Jan.,
1898) suggests "he who has won through to the truth." Had the early Buddhists invented a word with this
meaning it would probably have been tatha'gata, but not necessarily, for we have upadh" -- karoti as well
as upadhi' karoti. -- D i.12, 27, 46, 63; ii.68, 103, 108, 115, 140, 142; iii.14, 24 sq., 32 sq., 115, 217, 264
