Once the Bodhisatta was born among the Nāgā in Daddarapabbata. He was called Mahādaddara, his father being Sūradaddara and his brother Cūḷadaddara. Cūḷadaddara was passionate and cruel and teased the Nāga maidens; the king wished to expel him, but he was saved by Mahādaddara. However, at last the king was very angry and sent them both for three years to Bārāṇasī. There the boys ill-treated them, but when Cūḷadaddara tried to kill them his brother urged him to practise patience.

The story was related in reference to a choleric monk who is identified with Cūḷadaddara. J.iii.15 ff.
