Der Bodhisatta, geboren als Sohn von Jayaddisa (q.v.), König of Uttarapañcāla in Kampilla.

When the boy grew up, fully instructed in all the arts, seinVater made ihm Vizekönig. Später, Jayaddisa's life having become forfeit to the man-eating ogre (porisāda), Alīnasattu volunteered to offer himself in seinVater's place. The ogre, impressed by the prince's fearlessness und by the readiness mit which he carried out seinoffer, refused to eat ihm und absolved ihm from seinundertaking.

Alīnasattu preached to ihm the fünf moral laws und, having discovered that the ogre was really a human being, offered ihm the throne, which, however, the latter would not accept (J.v.22ff).

In lists of births in which the Bodhisatta is erwähnt as having praktizierten sīlapāramitā, the Alīnasattu Jātaka is erwähnt (z.B., J.i.45) (Adīnasattu, Alīnasatta, ālīnasatta).
