Tao-sheng Commentary on the Lotus Sutra, p168King Ajatasatru, who was the son of Vaidehi, was also present
Vaidehi is the mother’s name. King Ajātaśatru means, in Chinese, “hatred (śātravam) [harbored] prior to birth.” When he was in the womb, he kept harboring evil will against King Bimbisāra. Hence, the name hatred before birth. He was born of Vaidehi, thus he was called Vaidehi’s son.
