In the exegesis to the *Bhuridatta Jātaka*,⁵ the deity is spoken of as Aggideva, and mention is made of an enquiry made of learned brahmins by a king, Mujalinda, as to the way to heaven. In answer he is told that Aggideva is the brāhmaṇadevatā *par excellence*, and that he should be offered fresh ghee. See also Jātaveda.
