2. Daddara Jātaka (No. 304).—Once the Bodhisatta was born among the Nāgas in Daddarapabbata. He was called Mahādaddara, his father being Sūradaddara and his brother Culladaddara. Culladaddara was passionate and cruel and teased the Nāga maidens; the king wished to expel him, but he was saved by Mahādaddara. But at last the king was very angry and sent them both for three years to Benares. There the boys ill-treated them, but when Culladaddara tried to kill them his brother urged him to practise patience.
