Jantu3
PersonUn fils du troisième Okkāka qui, à la demande de sa mère, fut désigné successeur au détriment de ses demi-frères et sœurs, dont le départ subséquent du royaume mena à la fondation du clan Sakya
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.
