The Mahávamsa Tíká mentions (MT.176) two theras of this name, one a resident of the Kurundacullaka-parivena, and the other of the Kolambahálaka-parivena. They lived in the time of Bhágineyya Dáthopatissa, and about fifty years after the secession of the Ságaliká from the Dhammaruci-nikáya they set up a school of their own, in which they borrowed the Ubhato-vihanga from the Dhammarucikas and the Khandaka and Parivára from the Ságalikas.
