Guhasīva.—King of Kāliṅga. At first he did not pay honour to the Tooth-relic of the Buddha which was in his capital, but later, having seen a miracle, he became a Buddhist and paid the relic all homage. Later, he sent the relic to Ceylon, through his daughter Hemamālā and her husband Dantakumāra. The whole story is given in the Dāṭhāvamsa.¹
