Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesAn arahant. He was a nobleman of Vesali and left the world after hearing the Buddha preach the Ratana Sutta. After ordination, he dwelt in a pleasant hut in a beautiful forest, where he won arahantship. One day some women tried to tempt him, but in vain (Thag.58; ThagA.i.122f.).
His first desire to attain liberation was made in the time of Padumuttara Buddha. Later he gave a beautiful seat to Atthadassi Buddha and offered him flowers in homage. One hundred and seventy kappas ago he was a king named Sandima (Sannibbapaka). He is probably identical with Asanupatthayaka of the Apadana. Ap.i.144.
