ヴェッサブー仏の弟子であるカンダという僧に食事を施したアラハントで、後にヴァルナという王であった。最後の生でこの布施を思い出したため、エーカサンニャカと呼ばれた。

An Arahant. In the past he gave a meal to a monk named Khanda, a disciple of Vessabhū Buddha. Forty world-cycles ago he was a king named Varuṇa (Ap.i.121). The Apadāna Commentary says he was given the name Ekasaññaka because in his last life he remembered his gift to Khanda.
