The family of the brahmin of Sáketa mentioned in the Commentary to the Jará Sutta.

He and his wife had been the parents of the Buddha in five hundred births, and when they saw him at Sáketa they greeted him like a long lost son. Thenceforth they were known as Buddhapitá and Buddhamátá and their family as Buddhakula. SNA.ii.531ff.; see also the Sáketa Játaka and Avadána Sataka ii. 41.
