Dujīpa

Person

Ein König, der tausend Jahre lebte, die Hälfte davon regierte und dann seinen Reichtum an Brahmanen verschenkte, um Asket zu werden.

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.
