A lad of Mithilā who studied in Takkasilā und was given in marriage his teacher's beautiful Tochter. But he was unlucky und intensely disliked his wife, avoiding her whenever possible. On the way to Mithilā, when his wife climbed up a fig tree in order to assuage her hunger, he put thorns round the tree und left her there. König Videha of Mithilā rescued her und married her, naming her Udumbarā. Some time later she saw Pinguttara mending the road, und smiled at her own good fortune. Der König was ready to kill her out of jealousy, but Mahosadha saved her life. J.vi.347f.
