An arahant. He belonged to a brahmin family in Rājagaha. Having heard Sāriputta preach, he entered the Order and became an arahant. In the past he met the Buddha Sobhita and offered him a punnāga-flower (Thag.v.179; ThagA.i.304). He is evidently the same as Kanhadinna, son of Bhāradvāja Thera (ThagA.ii.303), and is probably identical with Giripunnāgiya of the Apadāna (ii.416).
