An Ajivaka. He came of a wagon building stock of bygone days. In the Anangana Sutta (M.i.31f), Moggallana tells Sariputta that, one day, when begging alms in Rajagaha, he came to the house of Samiti, the wagon builder who was shaping a felloe. Standing by was Panduputta, watching him and wishing that he should shape it without blemish. When Samiti did so, Panduputta expressed his joy, saying that Samiti had read his thoughts.

Buddhaghosa says (MA.i.124) that Panduputta was so called because he was the son of Pandu.
