General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: BuddhismNipura (啶ㄠた啶啶�) refers to one of the five sons of 滨办峁腻办耻 厂耻箩腻迟补: an ancient king from the Solar dynasty (蝉奴谤测补惫补峁兣沘) and a descendant of Mah膩sa峁僲ata, according to the 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 chapter II.32 of the Mah膩sa峁僩hikas (and the Lokottarav膩da school). Nipura is known as Nipu峁嘺 according to the D墨pava峁兣沘 and the Mah膩va峁兣沘. Nipura is known as N奴pura according to the Dulva (the Tibetan translation of the Vinaya of the Sarv膩stiv膩dins). Nipura possibly corresponds with Sinis奴ra as mentioned in the Mah膩buddhava峁僺a or Maha Buddhavamsa (the great chronicle of Buddhas) Anud墨pan墨 chapter 1, compiled by Ven. Mingun Sayadaw.
Accordingly, as a Buddhist nun said to 厂耻箩腻迟补鈥檚 concubine Jent墨 thus: 鈥淸...] your son [viz., Jenta] has no right to his father鈥檚 estate, not to speak of that of a king鈥檚. It is those five boys [viz., Opura], the sons of a noble woman, who have the right to their father鈥檚 kingdom and estate鈥�.
