An Arahant. He belonged to a Sakyan family in Kapilavatthu and entered the Order after hearing the teaching of the Madhupiṇḍika Sutta.
In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a Brahmin, named Nārada, and uttered three stanzas in praise of the Buddha. He was once a king named Sumitta (Thag.vs.86; ThagA.i.183 f). He is probably identical with Atthasandassaka of the Apadāna (Ap.i.169).
