Commander-in-chief of the Porisáda, the man-eating king, mentioned in the Sutasoma Játaka. When Kálahatthi discovered the king's wickedness, he persuaded him to leave the city, and gave over the sovereignty to the king's son. Some time later, when Sutasoma had cured Porisáda of his cannibalistic tendencies, Kálahatthi agreed to restore him to the throne (J.v.460-70; 508ff).
Kalahatthi is identified with Sáriputta (J.v.511). In several places (E.g., J.v.461, 465, 468) he is addressed as Kála.
