Pasannacamda (Prasannacandra) King of the city of Potanapura, He was son of Somacamda(2) and Dhārini(20). He handed over the kingdom to his minor son and took to asceticism. Once when he was engaged in contemplation, he heard some one saying 1 : “King Pasannacamda has committed a blunder in renouncing the world and handing over the kingdom to his minor son. His ministers are now plotting to ruin the minor king together with his entire family. The queen has already left the palace and fled somewhere.” This enraged the contemplating ascetic.
