Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraPuṣpabhūti (पुष्पभूति) was the king of Nagarahāra according to the Kouan fo san mei hai king mentioned in appendix 3 of the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XV).—Puṣpabhūti, king of Nagarahāra, invited the Buddha to rid his kingdom of this scourge. Accompanied by Ānanda and four great disciples, the Buddha went to the mountain of the old ṛṣi and, with the help of Vajrapāṇi and Maudgalyāyana, vanquished the Nāga and the five Rākṣasīs. At their request, he agreed to stay for a time in the rock cave of the Rākṣasīs. When he wanted to leave, the Nāga-king asked him to stay with him forever. “If you leave me, I will never see the Buddha again,” he lamented. “I will commit bad deeds again and fall back into my evil ways.” The Buddha consoled him: “I accept; I will stay in the cave for fifteen hundred years”.
