Jayasena4
PersonUn prince qui, non convaincu par l’exposé de la Doctrine du novice Aciravata, fut plus tard gagné par un discours de son oncle Bhūmija Thera, consigné dans le Bhūmija Sutta ; Buddhaghosa l’identifie comme le propre fils de Bimbisāra.
A prince who once visited the novice Aciravata at Veḷuvana in Rājagaha and asked him to teach the Doctrine. Reluctantly the novice did so, but at the end of the exposition Jayasena declared that he was unable to agree with it.
When this was reported to the Buddha he said that Jayasena, being given up to luxury, could not be expected to appreciate renunciation (M.iii.128).
A discussion which Jayasena had with his uncle Bhūmija Thera is recorded in the Bhūmija Sutta. In this case we are told that Jayasena was pleased with the discourse and entertained Bhūmija to his own dish of rice (M.iii.138).
Buddhaghosa (MA.ii.932) says that Jayasena was Bimbisāra’s own son (Bimbisārassa putto orasako).
