Non recursive find command

Thanks for your reply.
As you know, simple find by default recrusive option is true. As you quoted, i tried -maxdepth, how ever it's not working with my OS.
PFB details, (am using SunOS 5.9)
> find . -name "Rajini*" -maxdepth 1
find: bad option -maxdepth
find: path-list predicate-list
Is there any other apart from -maxdepth?
Waiting for your valuable reply
Thanks,
Naga
