Dasaratha

1. Dasaratha.– Another name for Janasandha, king of Bārāṇasī (see Janasandha (1). The scholiast (J.ii.299) explains that he was so called because he did with his one chariot what others did with ten chariots (dasahi rathehi kattabbaṃ attano eken’eva rathena karanato Dasaratho ti).

2. Dasaratha.– King of Bārāṇasī, identified with Suddhodana.
