Buddhaghosa¹ explains it by saying that Videhī here means a wise woman and not the Videha-lady, because Ajātasattu’s mother was the daughter, not of a king of Videha, but of a Kosala king.² According to the Nirayāvalī Sūtra,³ there was, among the wives of Bimbisāra, Callanā, daughter of Ceṭaka, a rājā of Vaisālī, whose sister Triśālā was the mother of Mahāvīra. She was also called Śrībhadrā. According to the Tibetan Dulvā,⁴ Ajatasattu’s mother was Vāsavī, daughter of Siṃha of Vaiśālī. It was foretold that Vāsavī’s son would kill his father. Cf. Vedehikā, Vedehamuni. - [Previous: v2.c35.1869](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1869) - [Next: v2.c35.1871](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1871) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1870](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1870) · Pramāṇa
