An arahant. In the time of Vipassī Buddha he was a brahmin
ascetic on Kukkurapabbata with a large number of disciples. Hearing of the
Buddha's appearance in the world, he wished to visit him, but fell ill on the
way. He thereupon erected a thūpa of flowers in the Buddha's name and died soon
after.
Forty four kappas ago he was king sixteen times under the
name of Aggisama, and thirty-eight times under that of Ghatāsana. Ap.i.155f.
