Dujīpa

Person

千年生きた王で、その半分の期間統治した後、財産をバラモンたちに施し出家して苦行者となった。

A king who lived to the age of one thousand. He reigned for five hundred years and, at the end of that period, gave alms to the brahmins, renounced his kingdom and became an ascetic (J.vi.203).

He is probably identical with Dudīpa, king of Bārāṇasī, who is mentioned (J.vi.99) as having given away great wealth, and as a result reached heaven.
