Jantu3

Person

Con trai của Okkāka đời thứ ba, theo lời thỉnh cầu của mẹ được lập làm người kế vị thay các anh chị em cùng cha khác mẹ, khiến những người này rời vương quốc và lập nên dòng họ 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.
