jāīparājio khalu kāsi niyāṇaṃ tu hatthiṇapurammi |
culaṇīe baṃbhadatto uvavanno paumagummāo ||

Being contemptuously treated for the sake of his birth (as a Kândâla) Sambhûta took, in Hastinâpura, the sinful resolution (to become a universal monarch in some later birth); descending from the heavenly region Padmagulma, he was born of Kulanî in Kâmpilya as Brahmadatta; Kitra, however, was born in the town Purimatâla in the great family of a merchant; when he had heard the Law, he entered the order.

Hermann Jacobi 1895, Uttarâdhyayana Sûtra (Gaina Sûtras II, SBE 45)
