Piṅguttara

Person

스승이 정해준 아내를 싫어하여 여정 중에 그녀를 버린 미틸라의 청년으로, 이후 그녀는 웨데하 왕에게 구조되어 왕비가 되었고 우둠바라데위로 개명되었다

A lad of Mithilā who studied in Takkasilā and was given in marriage his teacher’s beautiful daughter. However, he was unlucky and intensely disliked his wife, avoiding her whenever possible. On the way to Mithilā, when his wife climbed up a fig tree in order to assuage her hunger, he put thorns round the tree and left her there. King Videha of Mithilā rescued her and married her, naming her Udumbara-devī. Some time later she saw Piṅguttara mending the road, and smiled at her own good fortune. The king was ready to kill her out of jealousy, but Mahosadha saved her life. J.vi.347 f.
