Esukārī2
PersonVị vua Bārāṇasī, bạn thân của vị tế sư không con của mình. Bốn người con trai của vị tế sư lần lượt xuất gia — một câu chuyện trong đó chính nhà vua, tiền thân của Suddhodana, cuối cùng cũng gia nhập cùng họ.
King of Bārāṇasī. He and his chaplain were great friends; neither of them had any sons. They agreed that if either of them should have a son the possessions of both should be given to him. By the intercession of a tree-sprite the chaplain had four sons — Hatthipāla, Assapāla, Gopāla, and Ajapāla. However, when they grew up, one after the other, they renounced the world, and were later joined by the chaplain and the king, with all their retinues.
Esukārī was a previous birth of Suddhodana.
The story is related in the Hatthipāla Jātaka. J.iv.473 ff.
