Uggata3
PersonEin König von Kāliṅga, der zusammen mit den Königen Bhīmaratha und Atthaka den Bodhisatta Sarabhaṅga aufsuchte, um das Schicksal von Herrschern zu erfahren, die heilige Männer schlecht behandelt hatten – eine Geschichte, die im Sarabhaṅga-Jātaka erzählt wird.
The Kāliṅga king who, with Bhīmaratha, king of Sañjayantī, and Atthaka, king of Hastināpura, sought the Bodhisatta Sarabhaṅga to learn from him where the kings Kalābu, Nālikira, Ajjuna, and Daṇḍakī had been born after the destruction of themselves and their kingdoms as a result of their ill-treatment of holy men. J.v.135 ff.
Their story is given in the Sarabhaṅga Jātaka (q.v.)
The scholiast of the Jātaka (J.v.137) takes Uggata to be not the name of the Kāliṅga king but a descriptive epithet, and explains it by saying “cando viya suriyo viya ca pākato paññāto.”
The Mahāvastu (iii.364 f), however, definitely mentions Ugga as the name of the king, in the same way as Bhīmaratha and Asthamaka (Atthaka), and gives the capitals of the two latter as Sañjayantī and Hastināpura respectively.
