A monastery in Sunāparanta where
Punna Thera lived and where the Buddha visited
him.
Near by was a village of merchants where Punna went for his alms and where
lived his brother Culla Punna. After the
merchants had been saved from death by the intervention of Punna, they gave him
a share of the red sandalwood they had obtained in the course of their travels,
and with this they built a mandalamāla in the vihāra and dedicated it to the
Buddha. The Buddha lived there for seven days.
SA.iii.15ff.
