v2.c36.2939

Urged by a monk, named Bodhi, he proclaimed a regulation act against the undisciplined monks of Abhayagiri; but these monks murdered Bodhi and were severely punished by the king. Later he quarrelled with the Theravāda monks and retired to Dakkhiṇadesa, where he died.¹ Aggabodhi III. and Kassapa II. were his sons. He was also evidently known as Silādātha.²
