Quotes:Udayana Raja

H. P. Blavatsky

Udayana Râjâ. A king of Kausâmbî, called Vatsarâjâ, who was the first to have a statue of Buddha made before his death; in consequence of which, say the Roman Catholics, who build statues of Madonnas and Saints at every street corner — he “became the originator of Buddhist IDOLATRY”.
