'''Dhitika''' (Skt. ''Dhītika''; Tib. དྷི་ཏི་ཀ་, [[Wyl.]] ''dhi ti ka''), the fifth [[seven patriarchs|patriarch]], was the son of a wealthy [[brahmin]]. After becoming a monk, Dhitika went to Mathura where he met [[Upagupta]]. Having received the sevenfold instructions from Upagupta, he attained the state of an [[arhat]]. Dhitika travelled throughout six of the great communities of India, carrying the [[Dharma]] as far as Tokharia in central Asia. Preaching to kings and commoners all across northern India, he turned the populace away from nature worship, black magic, and animal sacrifices. He entered [[nirvana]] at Ujjin, having entrusted the Dharma to [[Krishna]], who would be the sixth patriarch.<ref>''Ways of Enlightenment'', Dharma Publishing pages 39-40.</ref>
