The Buddha tells the goddess of the Bodhi tree that in a distant past, when the Dharma of a buddha named Ratnaśikhin had disappeared, there was a virtuous king named Sureśvaraprabha. At that time, a head merchant by the name of Jaladhara had a son named Jalavāhana who learned medicine from him and was able to cure the many illnesses prevalent in the kingdom.
