Mahāpaduma2
PersonEin Prinz von Kumuda-nagara, der, angestiftet vom feindseligen Mönch Soṇa, versuchte, seinen eigenen Vater zu töten, und mit einem betrunkenen Elefanten erfolglos versuchte, den Buddha Piyadassī zu töten
A prince of Kumuda-nagara. Soṇa Thera — who harboured enmity against Piyadassī Buddha, just as Devadatta did against Gotama — persuaded Paduma to kill his father, and devised various schemes for killing the Buddha, all of which failed. In the end he sent his elephant Doṇamukha, drunk with toddy, to attack the Buddha, who, however, subdued the animal. BuA.174; cp. Ajātasattu.
