Aṭṭhaka4
PersonEin untergeordneter König, der zusammen mit zwei anderen Fürsten den Bodhisatta-Asketen Sarabhaṅga über das Schicksal des vernichteten Königs Daṇḍaka befragte und durch dessen Lehre von Zweifel und Sinnlichkeit befreit wurde.
A King. When Daṇḍaka, having sinned against Kisavaccha, was destroyed with his realm, three of the subordinate lords within his kingdom — Kaliṅga, Aṭṭhaka, and Bhīmaratha — went to consult the Bodhisatta Sarabhaṅga on the fate of Daṇḍaka and his fellow-sinners. Their doubts were set at rest, and at the end of Sarabhaṅga’s discourse they became free of their sensuality (J.v.135-49). Sakka himself was present at the interview and asked questions of Sarabhaṅga.
