1. Vidhura. A brahmin, chaplain of the king of Benares. For details see the Sambhava Játaka. He is identified with Mahá Kassapa (J.v.67). Vidhura's son was Bhadrakára. J.v.60.
2. Vidhura. The Bodhisatta born as the minister of Dhanañjaya-Korabba. See the Vidhurapandita Játaka.
His father was the brahmin Canda (J.vi.262), and he owned three palaces: Koñca, Mayúra and Piyaketa (J.vi.289). Anujjá was his wife and Cetá his daughter in law; among his sons was Dhammapála (J.vi.290).
In one place (J.vi.301) he is spoken of as having one thousand wives and seven hundred female slaves.
The Vidhurapandita of the Dhúmakári Játaka is probably identical with the above, as also the minister of the same name in the Dasabráhmana Játaka. The latter contains a long discussion between Vidhúra and the Korabba king regarding the qualities of a true brahmin.
3. Vidhura. The Milinda-Pañha (p.202) refers to a birth of the Bodhisatta in which he was a wise man (pandita) named Vidhura. At that time Devadatta, although a jackal, brought the kings of all Jambudípa under his sway. The reference is evidently to the Sabbadátha Játaka (No. 241), but there the Bodhisatta's name is not given.
