Son of Dīghīti, king of Kosala. After his parents had been cruelly murdered by Brahmadatta, king of Kāsi, he became the attendant of this king; in order to avenge their death, but when the occasion arose, he made peace with Brahmadatta. His father’s kingdom was restored to him, and he married Brahmadatta’s daughter (Vin.i.343 ff; DhA.i.46 f; J.iii.211 f, 487). He was the Bodhisatta (J.iii.490).
