King Brahmadatta had a son named Suttasoma who, once an adolescent, went to study in Takkasilã. Having finished his studies, he married Princess Candã who bore him two sons. Suttasoma, wishing to become a hermit, bid farewell to his wife and his officers. They all tried to convince him not to go, but Suttasoma remained firm. As Suttasoma was journeying towards the Himavant, Indra ordered Vissukamma to build him a hermitage. Suttasoma practiced the dharma for many years. After his death, he went up to the svarga where he was reborn as a devaputta.
