एक अरहंत, जो बहुत पहले राजा रहते हुए अपनी बालकनी से सिद्धत्थ बुद्ध तथा उनके भिक्षुओं पर कणवेर के फूल बिखेरते थे, और बाद में चार बार और राजा बने; संभवतः स्थविर बन्धुर के समान ही व्यक्ति हैं।

An Arahant. Ninety-four world-cycles ago he was a king named Gopaka (?), and seeing Siddhattha Buddha, accompanied by his monks, walking in the city, the king, from his balcony, scattered kaṇavera-flowers over them.
