An arahant.
In the time of Atthadassí Buddha, he was named Nárada-Kesava. He heard the Buddha preach and, gladdened by the sermon, did him homage.
Seventeen kappas ago he became a king under the name of Amittatápana (v.l. Amittavásana?) (Ap.i.168f).
He is probably identical with Pavittha Thera. ThagA.i.185.
