PersonAlso known as Karakanda, Karandaka, Karakandaka
Kāliṅga 國 Dantapura 國王,因見結滿果實的芒果樹被隨從掠奪一空、而無果之樹卻得以保全而有所感悟,遂證辟支佛果;他與另外三位同證者的故事見 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.
