King of Kumbhavati in Kalinga (M.i.378; MA.ii.599ff; J.iii.463; v.133ff; 267; Mtu.iii.363ff).

Kisavaccha, pupil of Sarabhanga, desiring solitude, lived in the royal park near the city, and was ill treated by Dandaki and his army while on their way to quell a rebellion, they being under the impression that insult inflicted on Kisavaccha would bring them luck.

As a result the gods were greatly incensed and destroyed the king and his country, only three people escaping death: Kisavaccha, the commander in chief, who was a pious follower of Kisavaccha, and a man named Rama, who had come from Benares to Kumbhavati. The last named was saved from destruction owing to his care for his parents. The forest which grew on the desolate land came to be called Dandakaranna.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

ٲṇḍ쾱 (दण्डकि) is the name of a king whose country was destroyed according to the Jātaka and Papañca mentioned in Appendix 1 of the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XXIV).—Accordingly, “Kisavaccha, disciple of Sarabhaṅga, in search of solitude, was established in King ٲṇḍ쾱’s park, near the city of Kumbhavatī in Kaliṅga. One day when King ٲṇḍ쾱 was leaving to suppress a revolt, he thought he could make himself lucky by spitting on Kisavaccha and throwing his tooth-pick at him. The gods were indignant, killed the king and destroyed the whole country. Only three people escaped death: the Ṛṣi Kisavaccha, the leader of the army who had become his disciple, and a certain Rāma, originally from Benares, who was spared as a result of his filial piety. The forest that grew up in that desolated land was called Daṇḍakārañña�.

According to the Ѳ屹ٳ (III, p. 363).—Vatsa, suffering from a wind sickness and unable to withstand the bitter cold at Anuhimavat, went away to the Dekhan, to the city of Govardhana. King ٲṇḍ쾱, who reigned there, was an irreligious man and an impious king without the correct view, eager for pleasure, full of wrong ideas, ignoring his mother and father, with neither religious life nor chastity, cruel, pitiless and violent. Seeing the Ṛṣi Vatsa, he buried this peaceful, harmless and innocent man in the earth.
