गोविन्ददत्त / GOVINDADATTA. A brahmin of great fame who resided in bahusuvarṇaka, a city on the banks of the river gaṅgā. His wife was a very pious woman. They had five children. Once when both the parents were away from the house a sage called vaiśvānara came there but the children did not receive him and treat him properly. Knowing this govindadatta abandoned all his children. (kathāsaritsāgara, Kathāpīṭhalaṁbaka).
