Chaḡaáš
gakumÄra
A general sent by the king of Benares to instruct EḡakamÄra in the art of war; afterwards he became ElakamÄraâs commander-in-chief. EḡakamÄraâs wife misconducted herself with Chaḡaáš
gakumÄra and also with his attendant DhanantevÄsÄŤ. KuášÄla said it was he who was Chaḡaáš
gakumÄra and that, therefore, he was an incarnation of the Buddha. J.v.425, 430.
