one of the clans or tribes recognised as of Aryan descent. To be such was to belong to the highest social
rank. The question of such social divisions in the Buddha's time is discussed in Dialogues i.97 -- 107; and it
is there shown that whenever they are referred to in lists the khattiyas always come first. Khattiyo se&&ho
jane tasmi' D i.199=ii.97=M i.358=S i.153, ii.284. This favourite verse is put into the mouth of a god; and
he adds that whoever is perfect in wisdom and righteousness is the best of all. On the social prestige of the
khattiyas see further M ii.150 -- 157; iii.169; A ii.86; S i.71, 93; Vin iv.6 -- 10. On the religious side of the
question D iii.82; 93; M i.149, 177; ii.84; S i.98. Wealth does not come into consideration at all. Only a
very small percentage of the khattiyas were wealthy in the opinion of that time and place. Such are referred
to at S i.15. All kings and chieftains were khattiyas D i.69, 136; iii.44, 46, 61; A i.106; iii.299; iv.259.
