Rāma4
PersonDer Bodhisatta, geboren als ältester Sohn von König Dasaratha von Bārāṇasī, dessen Heirat mit seiner Schwester Sītā und dessen Geschichte in der Dasaratha-Jātaka erzählt werden und von dem später bestimmte sri-lankische Königslinien ihre Abstammung herleiteten
The Bodhisatta born as the eldest son of Dasaratha, king of Bārāṇasī. He is also called Rāmapaṇḍita. He married his sister Sītā, and her devotion to him became proverbial (e.g., J.iv.559, 560; Cv.lxxiii.137). For Rāma’s story see the Dasaratha Jātaka. Certain ruling princes of Sri Lanka claimed descent from Rāma — e.g., Jagatipāla (q.v.) Rāma’s fight with Rāvana and the incidents recounted in the Rāmāyana are mentioned only in the later Pāḷi Chronicles, such as the Cūḷavaṃsa. Cv.lxiv.42; lxviii.20; lxxv.59; lxxxiii.46, 69, 88.
