c61.s6.9

The *Divyāvadāna* in one passage¹ speaks of Ajātaśatru as Vaidehīputra, and elsewhere² it states that King Bimbisāra reigned at Rājagṛha with his chief queen Vaidehī, and Ajātaśatru, his son. The Tibetan *Dulva* gives the name of Vāsavī to Ajātaśatru’s mother, and narrates a story regarding Ajātaśatru’s origin which cannot be traced in the *Pāli Canon*.³
