In the Pāli Canon, the term 'dhammakāya' is found four times, significantly in the Aggiāṇā-sutta and Apadāna literature. It serves various roles including a designation for the Tathāgata and associations with Paccekabuddhas and Noble Disciples. Past scholarly references predominantly cite only the first occurrence, leaving the latter three underexplored. This study emphasizes an integrated approach to understanding these references within the context of the early Theravāda community during the Pali canonical period, highlighting the importance of the Apadāna literature's canonical status despite being perceived as later additions.
