[...] In the time of Padumuttara Buddha he was a brahmin teacher named Sunanda. [...] One day, as he prepared a Vajapeyya 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). Thag.vs.84; ThagA.i.180f. [...] He is probably identical with Puppachadaniya of the Apadana. Ap.i.166.
