Jayasena4
PersonMột hoàng tử ban đầu không tin vào lời giải thích giáo pháp của sa-di Aciravata, nhưng sau đó được thuyết phục bởi bài giảng của người chú Bhūmija Thera, được ghi lại trong Bhūmija Sutta; Buddhaghosa xác định ông là con trai ruột của 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).
