A king in the distant past, at the time of the Buddha Dīpaṅkara. Not to be confused with the king of the same name during the time of the Buddha Śākyamuni, although it has been suggested that in earlier versions of The Prophecy of Dīpaṅkara this king had a different name and was said to be a past life of the later Ajātaśatru (Matsumura 2011a, pp. 84–85). In The Collected Teachings on the Bodhisatva (Toh 56), he is known as Jitaśatru.
