Sagaḍāla (Śakaṭāla) Minister of king Mahāpauma(8) of Pāḍaliputta. He was intensely interested in the welfare of the state. He had two sons : Thūlabhadda and Siriyaa. Jakkhā, Jakkhadiṇṇā(1), Bhūyā(2), Bhūyadiṇṇā(1), Seṇā(1), Veṇā and Reṇā were his daughters. Brāhmaṇa poet Vararui developed enmity with minister Sagaḍāla and plotted to destroy his entire family.
