  • Dvāramandala

A village in Ceylon. When Pandukābhaya was young, he lay there in concealment and escaped various attempts on his life (Mhv.X.1; Dpv. x.9). It was near the Cetiyapabbata, and Kundalī, friend of Dīghābhaya, lived there (Mhv.Xxiii.23). Five hundred young men from this village were ordained by Mahinda (Mhv.Xvii.59).
