Dujīpa
PersonUn roi qui vécut mille ans, régnant pendant la moitié de cette durée avant de donner sa fortune aux brahmanes et de devenir ascète.
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.
