2. Arindama.—King in the time of Sumana Buddha. A great dispute had arisen at this time regarding nirodha and all the inhabitants of many thousand world systems were divided into two camps. In order to settle their doubts, the disputants, with Arindama at their head, sought the Buddha.

The Buddha preached to them, and at the end of the sermon they all became arahants.¹
