King Ajatasattu was a ruler of Magadha in Buddha's days. Various texts in ancient India keep reports about his life and events. Especially in Buddhist scriptures, he is famous for his patricide. In this paper, I will collect the descriptions about his deeds in Pali Buddhist scriptures. Through this work, I can reconstruct his life and survey the change of his mental situation before and after confessing his offense in front of the Buddha. And we can also get some information about the relation between Buddhism and kingship in ancient India.
