In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a brahmin teacher named Sunanda. One day, as he prepared a Vājapeyya sacrifice, the Buddha visited him and walked through the air above him. Sunanda threw flowers in the sky, and they formed a canopy over the whole town. He became king thirty-five times under the name of Abbhasa (*v.l.* Ambaramsa).¹
