In the \*\*Ambaṭṭha Sutta\*\*¹ it is stated that Okkāka, being fond of his queen and wishing to transfer the kingdom to her son, banished from the kingdom the elder princes by another wife. These princes were named \*\*Okkāmukha\*\*, \*\*Karakaṇḍa\*\*, \*\*Hatthinika\*\*, and \*\*Sīnipura\*\*.² They lived on the slopes of the Himālaya and, consorting with their sisters and their descendants, formed the Sākyan race. The legend, thus briefly given, is enlarged on with great detail in the Commentaries. According to Buddhaghosa, there are three dynasties with a king named Okkāka at the head of each, all of them lineal descendants of the primeval king, \*\*Mahāsammata\*\*, and in the line of succession of Makādeva. ### [v1.c11.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.13) ¹ D. i. 92. ### [v1.c11.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.14) ² The \*Mahāvastu\* (which confuses Ikṣvāku with his ancestor Sujāta) mentions five sons of Ikṣvāku: Opura, Ulkāmukha, Karaṇḍaka, Hastikaśīrsa and Nipura (i. 348). See also Rockhill, p. 9 ff. ### [v1.c11.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.15) The Okkāka of the third dynasty had five queens—\*\*Bhattā\*\*, \*\*Cittā\*\*, \*\*Jantū\*\*, \*\*Jālinī\*\* and \*\*Visākhā\*\*—each with five hundred female attendants. The eldest queen had four sons—mentioned above—and five daughters—\*\*Piyā\*\*, \*\*Suppiyā\*\*, \*\*Ānandā\*\*, \*\*Vijitā\*\* and \*\*Vijitasenā\*\*.³ ### [v1.c11.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.16) ³ The Mtu. calls them Śuddhā, Vimalā, Vijitā, Jālā and Jāli. ### [v1.c11.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.17) When Bhattā died, after the birth of these nine children, the king married another young and beautiful princess and made her the chief queen. Her son was \*\*Jantū\*\*, and being pleased with him, the king promised her a boon. She claimed the kingdom for her son, and this was the reason for the exile of the elder children.⁴ The \*Mahāvamsa\*⁵ mentions among Okkāka's descendants, \*\*Nipuṇa\*\*, \*\*Candimā\*\*, \*\*Candamukha\*\*, \*\*Sivisañjaya\*\*, \*\*Vessantara\*\*, \*\*Jāli\*\*, \*\*Sīhavāhana\*\* and \*\*Sīhassara\*\*. The last named had eighty-four thousand descendants, the last of whom was \*\*Jayasena\*\*. His son \*\*Sīhahanu\*\* was the grandfather of the Buddha. The \*Dīpavamsa\*⁶ list resembles this very closely. ### [v1.c11.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.18) ⁴ DA. i. 258 f.; SnA. i. 352 f. ### [v1.c11.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.19) ⁵ ii. 12-16. ### [v1.c11.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.20) ⁶ iii. 41-5. ### [v1.c11.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.21) Okkāka had a slave-girl called \*\*Disā\*\*, who gave birth to a black baby named, accordingly, \*\*Kaṇha\*\*. He was the ancestor of the \*\*Kaṇhāyanas\*\*, of which race the \*\*Ambaṭṭha\*\*-clan was an offshoot. Later, Kaṇha became a mighty sage and, by his magic power, won in marriage \*\*Maddarūpī\*\*, another daughter of Okkāka.⁷ ### [v1.c11.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.22) ⁷ D. i. 93, 96. ### [v1.c11.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.23) According to the \*\*Brāhmaṇadhammika Sutta\*\*,⁸ it was during the time of Okkāka that the brahmins started their practice of slaughtering animals for sacrifice. Till then there had been only three diseases in the world—desire, hunger and old age; but from this time onwards the enraged devas afflicted humans with various kinds of suffering. ### [v1.c11.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.24) ⁸ Sn. p. 52 ff.; AA. ii. 737. ### [v1.c11.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.25) It is said⁹ that the name Okkāka was given to the king because when he spoke light issued from his mouth like a torch (\*kathanakāle ukkā viya mukhato pabhā niccharati\*). ### [v1.c11.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.26) ⁹ DA. i. 258. ### [v1.c11.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.27) Although the Sanscritised form of the Pāli name is Ikṣavāku, it is unlikely that Okkāka is identical with the famous Ikṣavāku of the \*Purāṇas\*, the immediate son of Manu, son of the Sun. The Pāli is evidently more primitive, as is shown by the form Okkāmukha, and the name Ikṣavāku looks like a deliberate attempt to accommodation to the Purāṇic account.¹⁰ ### [v1.c11.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.28) ¹⁰ For discussion see Thomas, \*op. cit.\*, p. 6. ### [v1.c11.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.29) According to the \*Mahāvastu\*, Ikṣavāku was the king of the Kosalas and his capital was Sāketa—\*i.e.\* Ayodhyā. See also \*s.v.\* Sākya. ### [v1.c11.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.30) The \*Cūḷavamsa\* mentions among Okkāka’s descendants, Mahātissa, Sagara and Sāhasamalla (\*q.v.\*). ### [v1.c11.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.31) 2. \*\*Okkāka.\*\*—King of Kusāvatī in the Malla country. He had sixteen thousand wives, the chief of whom was Sīlavatī. As a result of her consorting with Sakka, two sons were born, Kusa and Jayampati. The story is related in the Kusa Jātaka.¹ ### [v1.c11.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.32) ¹ J. v. 278 ff. ### [v1.c11.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.33) \*\*Okkāmukha.\*\*—King of Kapilavatthu. He was an ancestor of the Sākyans and the eldest son of Okkāka (\*q.v.\*) and his queen Bhaṭṭā (or Haṭṭhā). ### [v1.c11.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.34) \*\*Ogadha\*\* or \*\*Saṭayha Sutta.\*\*—An Ariyan disciple who is possessed of unwavering loyalty to the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Saṅgha, is bound to win, in time, to the bliss in which the holy life is steeped (\*ogadha\*).¹ ### [v1.c11.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.35) ¹ S. v. 343 f. For the name see KS. v. 298, n. 1. ### [v1.c11.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.36) \*\*Ogāḷha\*\* or \*\*Kuḷagharaṇī Sutta.\*\*—A certain monk living in a forest tract in Kosala was held in very high esteem (\*ajjhogāḷhappatto\*) by a certain family. A deva of the forest, wishing to urge him to greater effort, went to the monk in the guise of the housewife (\*kuḷagharaṇī\*) of the family, and asked him why it was that people spent their time in endless talk. Was he not disturbed by it? The monk answered that a recluse should not be disturbed by other people’s talk.¹ The Commentary² explains that the monk was already an arahant, but the devatā did not know it and could not therefore understand why he spent his time in visiting householders, hence her question wishing to make him live in solitude. ### [v1.c11.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.37) ¹ S. i. 201. ### [v1.c11.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.38) ² SA. i. 227. ### [v1.c11.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.39) Ogha Vagga.—Several chapters in the \*Samyutta Nikāya\* are called by this name; thus, in the \*Magga Samyutta\* (v. 59), the \*Bojjhaṅga\* (v. 136, 139), the \*Satipaṭṭhāna\* (v. 191), the \*Indriya\* (v. 241, 242), the \*Sammappadhāna\* (v. 247), the \*Bala\* (v. 251, 253), the \*Iddhipāda\* (v. 292) and the \*Jhāna\* (v. 309). ### [v1.c11.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.40) 1. Ogha Sutta.—A deva visits the Buddha at Jetavana and asks him how he crossed the "Flood." "Unstayed and unstriving," answers the Buddha. The deva is puzzled by the answer, until it is explained to him that a wrong support of footing and misdirected effort are as fatal as drowning straight away. The deva expresses his adoration of the Buddha.¹ The \*Commentary\*² adds that the deva was conceited, thinking he knew all about the saintship of a Buddha, hence the enigmatic reply, in order to puzzle him (\*v.l.\* Oghataraṇa Sutta). ### [v1.c11.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.41) ¹ S. i. 1. ### [v1.c11.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.42) ² SA. i. 14. ### [v1.c11.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c11.43) 2.

His personal name (mūla-nāma) was Mahāli, but he was called Oṭṭhaddha because he had a hare-lip (aḍḍhoṭṭhatāya).¹ He went to visit the Buddha at the Kūṭāgārasālā in Vesālī, at a time when the Buddha had given orders that no one should be allowed to see him; but through the intervention of the novice Sīha, Oṭṭhaddha was admitted to the Buddha’s presence with a large retinue of followers, all splendidly adorned in various ways, though it is stated that earlier in the day they had taken the uposatha-vows.
