4.38

[Vatsa] (translates as "calf"); [putra] (translates as "son"). In ancient times there was an immortal who consorted with a calf and gave birth to a son; from then on the lineage was called Vātsīputrīya. This school posits a self that is neither identical to the aggregates nor separate from the aggregates, yet is a real self. Its vinaya text did not come [to China]. The Daji jing says: "They all state that there is a self, and do not speak of the mark of emptiness, like small children; therefore they are named Vātsīputrīya."
