In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA brahmin of Magadha who, following his own inclination, became a Paribbajaka. His training ended, he wandered forth and heard of Upatissa and Kolita joining the Buddhas Order. Impressed by their example, he became a monk and, soon after, an arahant. In the time of Atthadassi Buddha, he was an ascetic named Naradakesava and paid homage to the Buddha. Seventeen kappas ago he was a king named Amittatapana (Thag.vs.87; ThagA.i.185f).
He is evidently identical with Ekadamsaniya of the Apadana. Ap.i.168f.

Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
