A pleasance in Sāvatthi belonging to Queen Mallikā. It is described as "Samayappavādaka-Tindukācīra - (v.l. tindukākhīra)- ekasalaka." D.i.178; M.ii.22, etc.; Sp.i.107, etc. The Commentary (MA.ii.710; cf. DA.ii.365) says it was called Samyappavādaka because teachers holding various views used to gather there and discourse on their doctrines. It was surrounded by tindukakhīra (timbaru) trees, hence tindukācīra (sic); at first it possessed only one hall, but later many were erected through the good fortune of Potthapāda - hence its epithet Ekasālāka.
