Bhandukaṇṇa

Place

ヴェッサヴァナの従者たちに切り刻まれた後もなお魔法のマンゴーの木に登って芸を披露し、マハーパナーダ王子を笑わせようとして失敗した曲芸師。

A juggler, who tried to make Mahāpanāda laugh.

He made a mango tree, the Atulamba, grow before the palace door and climbed it with the help of a string. Vessavaṇa’s slaves chopped him up and threw the pieces down, and the other jugglers joined the pieces together and poured water over them. Bhaṇḍukanna then donned upper and under garments of flowers and started dancing again. However, he could not make Mahāpanāda laugh. J.iv.324.
