この時代の初めに統治した王で、パーリ年代記によればブッダが生まれたサキヤ族の血統の元祖であり、悪事を抑えるために民衆に選ばれたことから「大いなる選ばれし者」と名付けられた

A king who reigned at the dawn of this age and, according to the Pāḷi Chronicles, was the original ancestor of the Sakyan lineage into which the Buddha was born, chosen by the people to restrain wrongdoing and thus named “the Great Elect.”
