Ghata untranslated

Ghata 01. (also called Ghatakumāra). The Bodhisatta, born as the king of Benares. One of his ministers misconducted himself in the royal harem and the king, catching him in the act, banished him. The minister took service with Vaṅka, king of Sāvatthī, and persuaded him to attack Benares. Ghata was captured and thrown into prison, where he entered into ecstatic meditation. But Vaṅka was seized by a burning sensation, and he ordered the release of Ghata and the restoration of his kingdom. Ja.iii.168f; cf. Ekarāja.

Ghata 02. (also called Ghatapaṇḍita). The Bodhisatta, born as the ninth of the ten Andhakaveṇhudāsaputtā. When a son of his brother, Vāsudeva, died, Vāsudeva lamented beyond all measure, and Ghata, wishing to cure him, feigned madness and went about Dvāravatī asking for the hare in the moon. When Vāsudeva heard of this from his courtier Rohiṇeyya, he hastened to Ghata and argued with him about the ridiculousness of his quest. The plan succeeded and Vāsudeva was cured of his grief. Ja.iv.81, 84ff; Pv.ii.6; Pv-a.93f.
