He belonged to the family of a provincial ruler (mandalikaraja), but was unable to maintain his countrys independence, and lost his throne. While wandering about in misery, he saw and heard the Buddha, entered the Order, and won arahantship.

In the time of Tissa Buddha he was a householder, and gave the Buddha a panasa fruit mixed with a curry of cocoa nut. Thirteen kappas ago he was a king named Indasama (Thag.vs.102; ThagA.i.206). He is evidently identical with Khajjadayaka of the Apadana. Ap.i.182.
