Pańcagaru Jātaka (No. 132) = Bhiruka Jātaka
The Bodhisatta was once the youngest of the hundred sons
of Brahmadatta, king of Benares. He had, as far as could be seen, no chance of
being king, but on seeking the counsel of a Pacceka Buddha and following his
advice, he became king on his father's death. For details reference is invited
to the "Takkasilā Jātaka," this evidently being another name for the Telapatta
Jātaka (q.v.).
This Jātaka was related in reference to the attempts made
by Māra's daughters to tempt the Buddha as he sat under the Ajapāla nigrodha.
