In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a brahmin ascetic named Suvaccha, versed in the three Vedas. The Buddha appeared before him, and he paid him homage by scattering nāga-flowers in his path. Thirty-one kappas ago he was a king named Mahāratha.¹ He is probably identical with Nāgapupphiya of the Apadāna.²
