He was born in a Koliyan family, and, having seen the Buddha’s wisdom and power in the fight between the Sākyā and the Koliyā, he entered the Order and became an Arahant. Two verses uttered by him in admonition of a fellow worker are found in the Theragāthā (vs.195 f ). In time of Vipassī Buddha he was a householder, and gave to the Buddha a kapittha fruit (Thag.i.318). He is probably identical with Kapitthaphaladāyaka of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.449; but see also ThagA.i.73.
