흔히 아바야 왕자로 잘못 동일시되곤 하는 베살리의 리차비 귀족으로, 부처님의 가르침에 관해 먼저 아난다와, 후에는 부처님 자신과 논의했다

A Licchavi of Vesāli generally (e.g., GS.i.200, n.2; ii.211, n.2; KS.v.107, n.2.), but wrongly, identified with Abhayarājakumāra. On one occasion he comes with another Licchavi, Paṇḍita Kumāraka, to Ānanda in the Kūṭāgārasālā in Vesāli, and discusses with him certain views held by Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta. Ānanda teaches him the Buddha’s three Ways of purification (For details see A.i.220-2). On another occasion he visits the Buddha, again at Vesāli, with the Licchavi Sāḷha; the latter asks the Buddha’s views on purity of morals and self-mortification. The Buddha tells him of the Noble Way and explains its implications by various similes (See A.ii.202-4). We are not told that either of them became converts on this occasion.
