ท่ามกลางสรรพสัตว์ที่กำลังเฝ้ามอง เขาก็อันตรธานหายไป ณ ที่นั้นเอง และในอิโลดรา พระพุธะได้ให้กำเนิดบุตรผู้ทรงธรรมยิ่งนัก

FAQs
Budha is the named progenitor here; the verse records a genealogical event—Budha fathering a son described as dharmiṣṭha (“most righteous”).
Antaradhīyata indicates a sudden disappearance—vanishing from sight—emphasized by “tatra eva” (“right there”) and witnessed by “all beings.”
The son is characterized primarily by dharma (dharmiṣṭha), signaling that moral excellence is the defining trait highlighted in the lineage account.
