Ādāsamukha.—The Bodhisatta born as the King of Benares. He was the son of Janasandha (also called Dasaratha), and because his face was resplendent with beauty like a well-polished golden mirror, he was called Ādāsamukha. His father died when he was seven years old, and the courtiers tested the boy in various ways before crowning him king.
