Catudvāra Jātaka (No. 439).—Contains the story of Mittavindaka (q.v.). The Jātaka probably derives its name from the fact that the Ussada-niraya, where Mittavindaka was destined to suffer, looked like a city with four gates, surrounded by a wall. For the introductory story see the Gijjha Jātaka. The story is sometimes called the Mahā Mittavindaka Jātaka.¹
