Uggata3

Person

비마라타 왕, 앗타카 왕과 함께 성자들을 학대한 통치자들의 운명을 알고자 보살 사라방가를 찾아간 칼링가의 왕이며, 그 이야기는 『사라방가 본생담』에 전한다.

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.
