Jayaddisa Jātaka (No. 513).—Twice the sons of Pañcāla, king of Kampilla, were devoured by an ogress who had conceived a hatred for his queen. On the third occasion the ogress was chased by the palace guard before she could eat the child, but she succeeded in snatching him away and brought him up as her own. He grew up to be a man-eating ogre and dwelt in a tree. The fourth son of Pañcāla was Jayaddisa, who succeeded his father. The ogress had died before his birth. He had a son Alinasattu.
