Editing Devadatta (section)

===''Amitāyurdhyāna Sūtra''===
In the Mahayana Buddhist text, the ''[[Contemplation Sutra|Amitāyurdhyāna Sūtra]]'', Devadatta is said to have convinced Prince [[Ajatashatru|Ajātasattu]] to murder his father King [[Bimbisara|Bimbisāra]] and ascend the throne. Ajātasattu follows the advice, and this action (another ''[[anantarika-kamma]]'' for killing one's own father) prevents him from attaining [[Stream-enterer|stream-entry]] at a later time, when listening to some teaching of the Buddha. This is confirmed by the [[Samaññaphala Sutta]] of the Dīgha Nikāya (DN 2).{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
