Śܰǻ岹Բ (शुक्लोदन).�(Pali Sukko°), name of a brother of Śuddho-dana: Ѳ屹ٳ i.352.13; 355.19; iii.176.14 (father of Ānanda, Upadhāna, and Devadatta); Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ 3600. In Ѳ屹ٳ iii.177.1, according to mss., another Śܰǻ岹Բ, also brother of Śuddho- dana, is named (just after iii.176.14 above), as the father of Nandana and Nandika (v.l. Nandaka); Senart em. to Śukrodana, referring to Kern, Der Buddhismus 310, who alleges among Śuddhodana's brothers, besides Śܰǻ岹Բ, also ‘Śukrodana or Śܰǻ岹Բ�. The source of Kern's statement is not clear to me; it would have to be a northern (Sanskrit or [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit]) text; both forms would be Sukkodana in MIndic. In any case I think that Ѳ屹ٳ iii.177.1 has carelessly substituted a repetition of Śuklo° for Dhautodana of i.352.13 and 355.20 (or Droṇodana of Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ 3601), the correct name of the fourth of the brothers, otherwise missing in this passage.
