Jayasena 02. Father of Phussa Buddha (Bv.xix.14; Ja.i.41). The Buddha preached to him and he became an Arahant (Bv­a.193). He was king of Kāsī and his wife was Sirimā (Pv-a.19). See also Tirokuḍḍapetavatthu.

Jayasena 04. A prince who once visited the novice Aciravata at Veḷuvana in Rājagaha and asked him to teach the Dhamma. Reluctantly the novice did so, but at the end of the exposition Jayasena declared that he was unable to agree with it.

When this was reported to the Buddha he said that Jayasena, being given up to luxury, could not be expected to appreciate renunciation (MN.iii.128).
