A tribe of Nāgas present at the preaching of the Mahāsamaya Sutta (D.ii.259). Buddhaghosa (DA.ii.688) says they lived at the foot of Sineru and were so powerful that they could resist even the Supannas (DA.ii.688). They were among the Nāgas assembled by Dhatarattha to help him in winning Samuddajā (J.vi.165). They are always mentioned with the Kambala Nāgas.
