**Cakkhulola-Brahmadatta.**—King of Benares. He was very fond of watching dancing and had three dancing halls where girls and women, of various ages, danced for his pleasure. One day he noticed a householder's wife who had come to watch the dance and longed to possess her. On realising the wickedness of his desire, he renounced the kingdom and became a Pacceka Buddha. His *Udānagāthā* is included in the *Khaggavisāṇa Sutta*.¹
