Mahārāja (the great king) is the eleventh of the 13 episodes of the Vessantara Jataka. The text tells that Brahmin Jūjaka took Jali and Kanha back to his hometown in Kalinka. He got lost and he was directed to Sivi which was the city of King Sonsai (Sanjaya). When King Sonsai saw his grandchildren, he ransomed the two young royal children from Jūjaka. The king also fed the Brahmin with delicious food. Because he had been hungry for many days, the Brahmin ate too much, his bloated stomach broke and he died.
