Pupphavatī.—It was one of the names of Vārāṇasī, the capital of the Kāśī kingdom (Bhandarkar, Carmichael Lectures, 1918, pp. 50-51). Canda-Kumāra was the son of Ekarāja of Pupphavatī. He offered charities whole-heartedly and he never ate anything without first giving it to a beggar (Cariyā-Piṭaka, Ed. B. C. Law, p. 7).
