A village in Magadha, mentioned, together with Dīgharājī, as the residence of the Samsāramocaka heretics. Near by was the Ārunavatīvihāra, where Sāriputta once stayed with a company of monks. The village had retained its name for five hundred years (PvA.67). The Petavatthu (pp.12-13) contains the story of a woman of Itthakāvati who was born as a peta.
