In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
The Bodhisatta, born as son of Jayaddisa (q.v.), King of Uttarapancala in Kampilla.
When the boy grew up, fully instructed in all the arts, his father made him Viceroy. Later, Jayaddisas life having become forfeit to the man eating ogre (porisada), Alinasattu volunteered to offer himself in his fathers place. The ogre, impressed by the princes fearlessness and by the readiness with which he carried out his offer, refused to eat him and absolved him from his undertaking.
Alinasattu preached to him the five moral laws and, having discovered that the ogre was really a human being, offered him the throne, which, however, the latter would not accept (J.v.22ff).
In lists of births in which the Bodhisatta is mentioned as having practised silaparamita, the Alinasattu Jataka is mentioned (E.g., J.i.45) (Adinasattu, Alinasatta, Alinasatta).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
