dzپ (ज्योतिपा�) or Jyotiṣpāla is another name for Uttara Māṇavaka, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter XLII.—Accordingly, “[...] at that time, the Bodhisattva Śākyamuni was the younger brother of the Buddha Kāśyapa and was called Uttara. The older brother, whose wisdom was ripened, hated chatter; the younger, whose wisdom was incomplete, loved to debate. The people at that time considered the younger brother to be superior. [...] There was at that time a master potter (ܳ󲹰) named Nandapāla; he was a disciple of the Buddha Kāśyapa; he was devoted to the five-fold discipline (貹ñśī) and held the threefold path. He was the 첹Բٰ of the chaplain Uttara for his mind was honest, pure and full of faith�.

Notes: Elsewhere Uttara Māṇavaka is designated by the name dzپ or Jyotiṣpāla, while Nandapāla, the potter, is also called Ghaṭīkāra. In any case, it is the same ٲ첹, well known to the canonical and post-canonical sources.
