The author remarks: The Mahīśāsakas state that the fourth son of King Ikṣvāku was Nilou; the *Benxing jing* gives Niju, translated here as 'Biecheng' (Separately Accomplished). Vinaya Master You points to King Ikṣvāku as the ancestor of the Śākyas, and the fourth son Zhuangyan as the one from whom Śuddhodana descended. Nanshan points out that Ikṣvāku was the tenth wheel-turning king, a hundred generations removed from the Bodhisattva, and that the fourth son Zhuangyan was the one from whom Śuddhodana descended. Their accounts are broadly similar. ('Biecheng' and 'Zhuangyan' are different translations; they are merely the single person Niku.)
