Pubbaseliyā.—One of the seventeen heterodox sects which arose in Jambudīpa in the second century after the Buddha’s death.¹ According to the Kathāvatthu Commentary² they belonged to the Andhaka school. Their views seem to have been similar to those of the Cetiyavādins.³ According to Tibetan sources⁴ they were so called because they lived on the Pūrva Mountain.
