Catudvāra Jātaka

Jātaka

本生故事,講述彌多文達迦的遭遇,因其註定受苦的地獄看似有四道門而得名。

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.
