A sage of old who possessed the five abhiññā and great iddhi-powers.
The Bodhisatta, at that time, was a learned brahmin, and, having met Bhīma, said that he was a sensualist (kāma-bhogī), and his disciples agreed with him. It was for this reason the Buddha and five hundred monks suffered calumny at the hands of Sundarikā. Ap.i.299; UdA.264.
