King of the Kekakā, and a great archer. He annoyed the sage Gotama and was destroyed in spite of his bulk and his thousand arms (J.v.267). In the Sarabhaṅga Jātaka he is mentioned as having sinned against Aṅgīrasa (J.v.135; also DA.i.266). He is identified with Arjuna, called Kārtavīraya of the Kathāsaritsāgara (ii.639), and in the Uttarakanda of the Rāmāyana (Sarga 32).
He used to offer sacrifices to the gods (J.vi.201).
