Belaṭṭhasīsa was a brahmin of Sāvatthi who had left the world under Uruvela-Kassapa before the Buddha’s Enlightenment and was converted when Uruvela-Kassapa became a follower of the Buddha. He had been a monk in the time of Padumuttara Buddha, but could achieve no attainment. He once gave a mātuluṅga-fruit to Vessabhū Buddha.⁴ He is probably identical with Mātuluṅgaphaladāyaka (q.v.) of the Apadāna.⁵
