2. Maṅgala.—The Bodhisatta born as an ascetic in the time of Dhammadassī Buddha.¹ 3. Mangala.—The Bodhisatta born as an ascetic in the time of Siddhattha Buddha.¹ He was a very rich brahmin of Surasena, and later gave away all his wealth and became an ascetic. On one occasion, by his \*iddhi\*-power, he obtained fruit which grew on the jambu-tree (which gave its name to Jambudīpa) and offered it at the Surasena-vihāra to Siddhattha Buddha and ninety crores of monks.²
