A brahmin of Magadha who, following his own inclination, became a Paribbājaka. His training ended, he wandered forth und heard of Upatissa und Kolita joining the Buddha's Order. Impressed by their example, he became a monk und, soon after, an arahant. In der Zeit von Atthadassī Buddha, he was an ascetic named Narādakesava und paid homage to the Buddha. Seventeen kappas ago he was a König named Amittatāpana (Thag.vs.87; ThagA.i.185f).
He is evidently identical mit Ekadamsaniya of the Apadāna. Ap.i.168f.
