caraka, m. (not noted in Pali
rare in Skt., see pw s.v. 1 c
but recorded in AMg. as caraga-, cpd. with parivvāyaga, just as in BHS), one of a heretical sect of ascetics
regularly followed in comp. by parivrājaka, the two possibly (as allegedly in AMg., above, see Ratnach.) denoting a single sect or class of persons, rather than two: usually preceded, immediately or otherwise, by anyatīrthika (LV 〔2.21〕
Mv 〔iii.412.7〕) or anyatīrthya (SP 〔276.2〕)
caraka-parivrājaka- LV 〔2.21〕
〔380.12〕
SP 〔276.2〕
Mv 〔iii.412.7〕
Śikṣ 〔331.11〕. The proper Tib. translation seems to be spyod pa pa
so both LV passages (Foucaux reads dpyod pa pa for 〔2.21〕, but my photostat of the Lib. of Congr. ed. spyod …) and SP
spyod = car-. But Jäschke defines this by Mīmāṃsaka, the correct term for which is dpyod pa pa (both terms are given for Mīmāṃsaka in Mvy 〔3517〕
Mvy seems to omit caraka)
dpyod = examine (mīmāṃs-)
Tib. tradition has confused the two.

Vedic Reference
English
Caraka primarily denotes a ‘wandering student, ’ a sense
actually found in the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad.^1 More
especially it denotes the members of a school of the Black
Yajurveda, the practices of which are several times referred to
with disapproval in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa.^2 In the Vāja-
saneyi Saṃhitā^3 the Caraka teacher (Carakācārya) is enumerated
among the sacrificial victims at the Puruṣamedha, or human
sacrifice. His dedication there to ill-doing is a clear hint of a
ritual feud.
1) iii. 3, 1.
2) iii. 8, 2, 24 (where the reference is
to Taittirīya Saṃhitā vi. 3, 9, 6
10, 2,
or some parallel passage)
iv. 1, 2, 19
2, 3, 15
4, 1, 10
vi. 2, 2, 1. 10
viii. 1, 3, 7
7, 1, 14. 24.
3) xxx. 18
Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa, iii. 4,
16, 1. Its occurrence in the latter text
renders improbable von Schroeder's
view, Indiens Literatur und Cultur, 188,
that Caraka included all the Black
Yajurveda schools.
