==Biography==
According to the ''Buddhavamsa'' as well as traditional Buddhist [[legend]], Sikhī lived 31 [[Kalpa (aeon)|kalpas]] — many millionsbillions of years — before the present time.<ref name=Beal1875/><ref name=Davids1878/> He was born in [[Aruṇavatī]], which is located in the [[Dhule district]] of [[Maharashtra]],{{citation needed|date=July 2024}} in present-day [[India]].<ref name=Horner1975/> His family was of the [[Kshatriya]] [[Varna (Hinduism)|varna]], which constituted the ruling and military elite of the [[Vedic period]]. His father was Aruṇa the warrior-chief, and his mother was Pabhāvatī.<ref name=Davids1878/> His wife was Sabbakama, and he had a son named Atula.<ref name=Horner1975/>
 
Sikhī lived in the palaces of Sucanda, Giri and Vāhana for 7,000 Days (7,000 years according to the legends) until he renounced his worldly life, riding out of the palace on an elephant.<ref name=Horner1975/> He practiced [[asceticism]] for eight months<ref name=Varma2002/> before attaining [[Enlightenment in Buddhism|enlightenment]] under a [[Mangifera indica|pundarika]] tree.<ref name=Davids1878/> Just prior to achieving [[buddhahood]], he accepted a bowl of [[Kiribath|milk rice]] from the daughter of Piyadassī (a [[sethi]] from the town of Sudassana Nigama),<ref name=Malalasekera2007/> and sat on a grass seat prepared by Anomadassi, an [[Ājīvika]] ascetic.<ref name=Varma2002/>▼
