善意佛
According to the first web reference, Sumana is the fourth of the 24 Buddhas. According to the second web reference, the fourth of the 24 Buddhas is 善意佛. When you compare the first definition of the word "sumana" in the first reference with the Chinese description in the second reference, you can find that they are almost exactly the same. Hence, Sumana is 善意佛.
