A Pacceka Buddha. He was the son of the King of Bārāṇasī. In a previous birth he had been a monk for 20,000 years, during the dispensation of Kassapa Buddha. His story is very similar to that of No.3 above, the wife chosen being the daughter of Maddava, King of Sāgala. When the princess died, on her way to be married, the prince gave himself up to contemplation and became a Pacceka Buddha (SnA.67 ff; ApA.i.126-7). A stanza attributed to him is included in the Khaggavisāṇa Sutta. Sn.p.6, v.36.
