A group of Khattiyas, owners of the Anaka-drum (q.v.) (S.ii.266f).

Buddhaghosa says (SA.ii.167) they were so called because they took one tenth of the corn (sassato dasabhāgam ganhimsu, tasmā Dasārahā ti pańńāyimsu).

In the Kakkata Jātaka (J.ii.344) they are referred to as the "dasabhātikarājāno."
