Dīghajantu °jantuka °jayanta

Person

Der oberste General von König Eḷāra, von Sūrannimila erschlagen und Onkel von Bhalluka, der nach einer Wiedergeburt in der Hölle für seine Taten sich an eine frühere Opfergabe erinnerte und sogleich im Himmel wiedergeboren wurde

Chief of Eḷāra’s generals. He was slain by Sūrannimila (Mhv.xxv.54, 62 f). Bhalluka was his nephew (Mhv.xxv.76). He offered a red cloth (rattapata) at the Ākāsacetiya on Samantakuṭa (Sumanagiri). He was born in hell, but the sight of the fires there recalled to him his offering and he was immediately born in heaven (MA.ii.955; AA.i.375).
