1. Uggata.-See Ugga (4).

 

2. Uggata.-A khattiya of the city of Sumangala, father of Sujáta Buddha. J.i.38; Bu.xiii.20.

 

3. Uggata.-The Kálinga king who, with Bhímaratha, king of Sańjayantí, and Atthaka, king of Hastinápura, sought the Bodhisatta Sarabhanga to learn from him where the kings Kalábu, Nálikira, Ajjuna and Dandakí had been born after the destruction of themselves and their kingdoms as a result of their ill-treatment of holy men. J.v.135ff.

Their story is given in the Sarabhanga Játaka (q.v.).

The scholiast of the Játaka (J.v.137) takes Uggata to be not the name of the Kálinga king but a descriptive epithet, and explains it by saying cando viya suriyo viya ca pákato pańńáto.

The Mahávastu (iii.364f), however, definitely mentions Ugga as the name of the king, in the same way as Bhímaratha and Asthamaka (Atthaka), and gives the capitals of the two latter as Sańjayantí and Hastinápura respectively.

 

4. Uggata.-King during the time of Sobhita Buddha. He built a vihára named Surinda at Sunandavatí and another named Dhammaganáráma at Mekhalá and dedicated them to the Buddha and the Order. At the festival of dedication of the former one hundred crores became arahants and at that of the latter, ninety crores (Bu.vii.9f; BuA.139).

 

5. Uggata.-Twenty-nine kappas ago there were sixteen kings of the name of Uggata, all previous incarnations of the Thera Citakapújaka. Ap.i.151.

 

6. Uggata.-King of one thousand and fifty-one kappas ago; a previous life of Dhajadáyaka Thera. Ap.i.109.

 

7. Uggata.-Fourteen kappas ago there were four kings named Uggata, previous births of Parappasádaka (Ap.i.114) or Bhúta (ThagA.i.494) Thera.
