The bodhisatva was born in Mithila holding a medicinal plant in his hand and was
named Mahosadha. He talked immediately at birth, and the King Videha had a premonition
in a dream that a sage was born. Mahosadha was appointed as the fifth of five counsellors
to the king from an early age. He defended queen udumbara when she was deserted by
Pinguttara and rescued her from King Vedehaís wrath thereby earning her friendship.
