v.l. Dudda, Dudada.
Once the Bodhisatta was a brahmin of Kāsi and,
after being educated in Takkasilā, became an
ascetic in the Himālaya. When he and his fellow ascetics visited
Benares for salt and seasoning, the people
gathered together and gave them food. The story was told in reference to two
young men who made a collection in Sāvatthi to feed the Buddha and his monks
(J.ii.85f).
