Sīhahanu

Father of Suddhodana, and therefore grandfather of the Buddha. His father was Jayasena. Sīhahanu had five sons and two daughters:

1. Suddhodana
2. Dhotodana
3. Sakkodana
4. Sukkodana
5. Amitodana

1. Amitā
2. Pamitā

His wife was Kaccānā (Mhv.ii.15 f; Dpv.iii.44 f). Asita was his chief priest (purohita).

Until the time of Sīhahanu, great friendship existed between the Sākyā and the Koliyā (SNA.i.356).
