4. Aṭṭhaka.—King. When Daṇḍaka, having sinned against Kisavaccā, was destroyed with his realm, three of the subordinate lords within his kingdom—Kaliṅga, Aṭṭhaka and Bhīmaratha—went to consult the Bodhisatta Sarabhaṅga on the fate of Daṇḍaka and his fellow-sinners. Their doubts were set at rest, and at the end of Sarabhaṅga’s discourse they became free of their sensuality (kāmarāga.)¹ Sakka himself was present at the interview and asked questions of Sarabhaṅga.
