Śuklodana (Pali Sukko°), n. of a brother of Śuddhodana: Mv 〔i.352.13〕
〔355.19〕
〔iii.176.14〕 (father of Ānanda, Upadhāna, and Devadatta)
Mvy 〔3600〕. In Mv 〔iii.177.1〕, acc. to mss., another Śuklodana, also brother of Śuddhodana, 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 Śuddhodanaʼs brothers, besides Śuklodana, also ‘Śukrodana or Śuklodana’. The source of Kernʼs statement is not clear to me
it would have to be a northern (Skt. or BHS) text
both forms would be Sukkodana in MIndic. In any case I think that Mv 〔iii.177.1〕 has carelessly substituted a repetition of Śuklo° for Dhautodana of 〔i.352.13〕 and 〔355.20〕 (or Droṇodana of Mvy 〔3601〕), the correct name of the fourth of the brothers, otherwise missing in this passage.
