König of Benares In der Zeit von Kassapa Buddha. His story is related in the Mahā-Kanha Jātaka (J.iv.181ff). He is erwähnt in a list of kings who, although they gave great gifts, could not get beyond the domain of sense (J.vi.99). He is, however, elsewhere (J.vi.251) erwähnt as having been born in Sakka's heaven as a result of waiting diligently on brahmins und recluses.
