Jantu3
Person第三代奥迦迦之子,因其母之请获立为王位继承人,其异母兄弟姐妹因而离开王国,成为释迦族的创始者。
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.
