  • Mangana

A locality, probably a monastery in Ceylon, the residence of an arahant, Khuddaka Tissa (Kujjaka Tissa) (Mhv.Xxxii.53; J. vi.30).

The place was five leagues from Anurādhapura and was visited by Saddhātissa (AA.i.384).

A Mangana vihāra is mentioned among the religious buildings erected by Dhātusena (Cv.xxxviii.48). This was probably a restoration of the original.
