Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe Bodhisatta was once born as Brahmadatta, son of the king of Magadha. He studied at Takkasila with his friend Darimukha, son of the kings purohita. Once, while travelling, they came to Benares and there, while resting in the kings garden, Brahmadatta fell asleep and Darimukha, who perceived certain omens which foretold kingship for his friend, left him, and having become a Pacceka Buddha, retired to Nandamulaguha. Brahmadatta became king of Benares and, in his glory, forgot Darimukha for many, many years. When fifty years had passed Darimukha visited the king and preached to him on Renunciation. Later, Brahmadatta also became an ascetic.
The story was related in reference to the Buddhas Renunciation. J.iii.238-46.
