PersonA man named in the Milindapañha as Devadatta’s identity in a past-life story where the Bodhisatta was the deer-king Ruru, apparently referring to the Rurumigarāja Jātaka.
The Milindapañha refers to a Jātaka story where Devadatta was a man named Sāma, and the Bodhisatta a king of deer, named Ruru. The reference is evidently to the Rurumigarāja Jātaka, but there the man is called Mahādhanaka. J.iv.255 ff; but see Cyp.ii.6.
