Jantu3
PersonEin Sohn des dritten Okkāka, der auf Wunsch seiner Mutter anstelle seiner Halbgeschwister zum Nachfolger ernannt wurde, deren anschließender Auszug aus dem Königreich zur Gründung des Sakyer-Geschlechts führte
Son of the third Okkāka, by a woman whom he appointed to be his chief queen when his first one, Hatthā, died. This woman was promised a boon and she asked that her son Jantu be appointed to succeed Okkāka, in preference to his other children. Okkāka first refused but was obliged to yield. His other sons and daughters thereupon left the kingdom and became the founders of the Sakyan race (DA.258 f; SNA.i.352 f; MT.131).
The Mahāvastu (i.348) calls him Jantu, Jentā, and his mother Jentī. He reigned in Sāketa.
