⁶³ Compare with this the derivation of Vedehiputta in connection with Ajātasattu. See also \*s.v.\* Vedehikā. The Mtu. (iii. 176-7) says that when the Buddha went away from home Ānanda wished to join him, but his mother was unwilling, because his brother, Devadatta, had already gone away. Ānanda therefore went to the Videha country and became a muni. Is this another explanation of the term Vedehamuni?
