The Buddhacarita says: "Scion of Ikṣvāku, invincible king of the Śākyas, whose pure wealth and virtues were thoroughly complete, was therefore named Śuddhodana." Sengyou notes: Śuddhodana's distant ancestor was in fact the subsequent rebirth of Gautama. Because he dwelt in a sugarcane garden in a former life, the sūtras refer to him as the "scion of Ikṣvāku."
