Prasenjit King of Kosala, he was a contemporary of Buddha and
Mahavira,
both of whom visited his kingdom. He married Bimbisara’s sister
and gave
his sister in marriage to the latter. Despite the marriage alliance,
hostility
continued to prevail between Magadha and Kosala, and Aiatasatru
even forced
him to surrender a village (near Kasi). After Prasenjit’s death,
Kosala
declined gradually.
