3. Vidhura.—The Milindapañha¹ refers to a birth of the Bodhisatta in which he was a wise man (paṇḍita) named Vidhura. At that time Devadatta, although a jackal, brought the kings of all Jambudīpa under his sway. The reference is evidently to the Sabbadātha Jātaka (No. 241), but there the Bodhisatta’s name is not given.
