1. Dhanamjaya (Dhanañjaya) A merchant belonging to the town of Soriya(1). Subhaddā(11) was his wife. He pledged to sacrifice one hundred buffaloes before Jakkha Surambara on the condition of his having a son. Fortunately a son was born to him. He became a lay-votary of Mabāvīra before fulfilling his pledge and hence he declined to make the oblation. But the Jakkha compelled him to keep his word. He, however offered to the Jakkha one hundred buffaloes prepared of flour.
