Muut tiedot

The name Ajita means "The Unsubdued", probably related to the story of his successful fetching of a princess with the most excellent of elephants, in order to have King Prasenajit agree to their marriage. This talented young man eventually abandoned his wealth and power, and became one of the sixteen disciples of Buddha.
