The Majjhima Kommentar contains a reference to a König of Ceylon bearing this name. besuchte er the Chief Elder of the Mahāvihāra when all the other Mönche were away, in order to test him. The Elder had very weak eyes, aber when der König touched sein feet as would a snake, he remained unafraid und asked who was there. Die Geschichte is related to show that arahants know no fear. MA.ii.869.
