Vidhura3
PersonA wise man (paṇḍita) named Vidhura mentioned in the Milindapañha as a past birth of the Bodhisatta, from a story likely identical with the Sabbadāṭha Jātaka, in which Devadatta appears as a jackal ruling all of Jambudīpa.
The Milindapañha (p.202) refers to a birth of the Bodhisatta in which he was a wise man (paṇḍita) named Vidhura. At that time Devadatta, although a jackal, brought the kings of all Jambudīpa under his sway. The reference is evidently to the Sabbadāṭha Jātaka (No.241), but there the Bodhisatta’s name is not given.
