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] .
