Father of Dhammasava.
He was one hundert und zwanzig years old when his son joined the Order und, being impressed by his son's renunciation while yet young, he followed his example und soon after became an arahant.
Once, in the past, he saw a Pacceka Buddha on the Bhūtagana mountain, und honoured him mit tinasūla-flowers.
Eleven kappas ago he was a König called Dharanīpati (Dharaniruha) (Thag.108; ThagA.i.215f).
He is probably identical mit Tinasūlaka of the Apadāna. Ap.i.179.
