Mṛgāra¦ (= Pali Migāra), n. of a rich man, or acc. to MSV the chief minister, of Śrāvastī: Divy 44.13; MSV ii.52.12. Acc. to MSV, as in Pali sources, father-in-law of Visākhā (our Viśākhā 2); she was instrumental in instruct- ing him, and he called her his mother, whence she is called Mṛgāra-mātar (Migāra°), cf. MSV ii.69.10 ff.; see next (but acc. to some Pali sources she actually had a son, also named Migāra: DPPN).
