Catudvāra Jātaka

Jātaka

मित्तविन्दक की कथा कहने वाला एक जातक, जिसका नाम उस नरक-लोक के चार-द्वारी रूप पर रखा गया है जहाँ उसे दुःख भोगना नियत था।

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.
