Catudvāra Jātaka
JātakaA Jātaka telling the story of Mittavindaka, named for the four-gated appearance of the hell realm where he was destined to suffer.
Contains the story of Mittavindaka.
The Jātaka probably derives its name from the fact that the Ussada-niraya, where Mittavindaka was destined to suffer, looked like a city with four gates, surrounded by a wall.
For the introductory story see the Gijjha Jātaka.
The story is sometimes called the Mahā Mitta-vindaka Jātaka, e.g., J.i.363; iii.206.
