The twenty-third Buddha in the Theravada Buddhist tradition and the fifth of the seven Buddhas of antiquity in the present eon (Bhadrakalpa), placed on the Wednesday panel. Born to a Brahmin family, he renounced worldly pleasures and achieved enlightenment under an Udumbara tree (cluster fig; Ficus racemosa). The Mauryan emperor Ashoka commissioned the enlargement of a stupa dedicated to him at the site, which has been recorded in a Minor Pillar Edict.
