The later Buddhist tradition makes him a son of the Kosala Devī; the Jain tradition, confirmed by the standing epithet of Vedehi-putto, son of the princess of Videha, in the older Buddhist books, makes him a son of Chellanā. Buddhaghosa has preserved what is no doubt the traditional way of explaining away the evidence contained in the epithet⁵. But the matter cannot be further discussed here. - [Previous: v1.c19.s4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rapson-1922.v1.c19.s4.12) - [Next: v1.c19.s4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rapson-1922.v1.c19.s4.14) - [Up: v1.c19.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rapson-1922.v1.c19.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rapson-1922.v1.c19.s4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.rapson-1922.v1.c19.s4.13) · Pramāṇa
