27.75

King Ajātaśatru, son of Vaidehī: (Vaidehī means 'Superior Body' [勝身]; vai is 'superior' and dehī is 'body'—namely, the name of the eastern continent. Vaideha is the masculine pronunciation; this is the feminine form. It is the name of a mountain goddess; because [his mother] prayed to her and obtained him, it became his mother's designation. Ajātaśatru means 'Unborn Enemy' [未生怨]; another name is 'Broken Finger' [折指], the king's name).
