The story was related to Suddhodana, who told the Buddha how, when the Buddha was practising severe penances, some gods came to him (Suddhodana) and said that he was dead. But he refused to believe them. Suddhodana was Mahādhammapāla and the teacher Sāriputta.¹ At the conclusion of the Jātaka Suddhodana became an anāgāmi and Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī a sotāpanna.²
