The commentary on this passage adds the following details²: “Subsequent to Kâlâsoko, who patronised those who held the second convocation, the royal line is stated to have consisted of twelve monarchs to the reign of Dhammâsoko, when they (the priests) held the third convocation. Kâlâsoko’s own sons were ten brothers. Their names are specified in the Atthakathâ. The appellation of ‘the nine Nandos’ originates in nine of them bearing that patronymic title.
