in Hindu mythology, is a king of Magadha, the middle kingdom of India and the principal scene of all its myths. Ssodadani was married to Maha- maya, the virgin wife who was chosen by Sakyamuni, that, after he had entered her womb as a five-colored ray, he might be born of her, and who accordingly gave birth to the Buddha in the grove of Lomba through her right armpit. (See BUDDHA).
