Dasaratha

Person

バーラーナシー王ジャナサンダ(Janasandha)の別名で、他の者が十台の戦車で成し遂げることを一台の戦車でできたためこの名がついたという。

Another name for Janasandha, king of Bārāṇasī (see Janasandha (1). The scholiast (J.ii.299) explains that he was so called because he did with his one chariot what others did with ten chariots (dasahi rathehi kattabbaṃ attano eken’eva rathena karanato Dasaratho ti).
