Le roi de Dantapura en Kāliṅga qui, méditant sur la façon dont son manguier chargé de fruits fut entièrement dépouillé par sa propre suite tandis qu’un arbre stérile fut épargné, atteignit l’état de Bouddha-Pacceka ; son histoire, avec celle de trois compagnons, est racontée dans le Kumbhakāra Jātaka
v.l. Karakanda, Karandaka, Karakandaka.– King of Dantapura in the Kāliṅga kingdom. One day in his park he ate mangoes from a tree laden with fruit; his retinue doing likewise, the tree was soon stripped bare. Returning home, the king noticed the state of the tree and compared it with another tree which, having no fruit, was spared such ravages. Reflecting on this topic, he became a Pacceka Buddha and went to the Nandamūlapabbhāra with three others — Naggaji, Nimi, and Dummukha. The story of these four is given in the Kumbhakāra Jātaka. J.iii.376 ff.
