Uggata3

Person

Một vị vua xứ Kāliṅga, cùng với các vua Bhīmaratha và Atthaka, đã tìm đến Bồ Tát Sarabhaṅga để biết số phận của những kẻ cai trị đã ngược đãi các bậc thánh nhân, câu chuyện được kể trong Sarabhaṅga Jātaka.

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.
