### [v1.c10.122](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c10.122)

\*\*Ekabbohārā.\*\*—One of the divisions of the Mahāsaṅghikas.¹ They were so called because they held that “all the doctrines are understood by a unique and immediate wisdom, for all the doctrines of the Buddha are comprehended by the intellect.”² They held, among other things, that the Tathāgathas were not subject to worldly laws, that the Dhammacakkas of all Tathāgathas did not agree; the Bodhisatta did not pass through the successive stages of embryonic development; that he is born at will among inferior beings for the salvation of mankind; with our wisdom the four truths are perfectly understood; he who has perfectly acquired right restraint has cast off all \*yoga\* (attachment).³
