Uggata untranslated

Uggata 01. See Ugga (4).

Uggata 02. A Khattiya of the city of Sumaṅgala, father of Sujāta Buddha. Ja.i.38; Bv.xiii.20.

Uggata 03. The Kāliṅga king who, with Bhīmaratha, king of Sañjayantī, and Aṭṭhaka, king of Hastināpura, sought the Bodhisatta Sarabhaṅga to learn from him where the kings Kalābu, Nāḷikīra, Ajjuna and Daṇḍakī had been born after the destruction of themselves and their kingdoms as a result of their ill-treatment of holy men. Ja.v.135ff.

Their story is given in the Sarabhaṅgajātaka (q.v.).

The scholiast of the Jātaka (Ja.v.137) takes Uggata to be not the name of the Kāliṅga king but a descriptive epithet, and explains it by saying cando viya suriyo viya ca pākaṭo paññāto.

The Mahā Vastu (iii.364f), however, definitely mentions Ugga as the name of the king, in the same way as Bhīmaratha and Aṣṭhamaka (Aṭṭhaka), and gives the capitals of the two latter as Sañjayantī and Hastināpura respectively.

Uggata 04. King during the time of Sobhita Buddha. He built a vihāra named Surinda at Sunandavatī and another named Dhammagaṇārāma at Mekhalā and dedicated them to the Buddha and the Saṅgha. At the festival of dedication of the former one hundred crores became Arahants and at that of the latter, ninety crores (Bv.vii.9f; Bv­a.139).

Uggata 05. Twenty-nine kappas ago there were sixteen kings of the name of Uggata, all previous incarnations of the Thera Citakapūjaka. Ap.i.151.

Uggata 06. King of one thousand and fifty-one kappas ago; a previous life of Dhajadāyaka Thera. Ap.i.109.

Uggata 07. Fourteen kappas ago there were four kings named Uggata, previous births of Parappasādaka (Ap.i.114) or Bhūta (Thag­a.i.494) Thera.
