Jāli
Person웻산타라와 맛디의 아들로, 여동생과 함께 주자카에게 노예로 넘겨졌으나 삭까의 개입으로 구출되었고, 후에 아버지를 집으로 데려온 군대를 이끌었다. 라훌라와 동일시되며, 그의 보시는 보살의 가장 위대한 희생 중 하나로 꼽힌다.
Son of Vessantara and Maddī, and brother of Kaṇhājinā. He and his sister were given to Jūjaka as slaves, but were later rescued by the intervention of Sakka. Jāli led the army which brought Vessantara back from his hermitage. He is identified with Rāhula (J.vi.487 ff; cp. J.i.9). See the Vessantara Jātaka.
Jāli is probably also the king of the same name given in a list of Okkāka’s descendants, and stated to have succeeded Vessantara (e.g., Mhv.ii.13; Dpv.iii.42).
The gift of Jāli as a slave is considered one of the greatest sacrifices made by the Bodhisatta. J.i.77; AA.i.64; DhA.i.406; Mil.275, 282, etc.
