A grove near Verañjā where the
Buddha spent part of his
time on his visit to Nerañjā (Vin.iii.1; A.iv.172, 197).
Buddhaghosa explains
(Sp.i.108) that the chief tree to be found there was a pucimanda or nimba tree
at the foot of which was a shrine dedicated to a Yakkha named Naleru. The tree
was shady and beautiful to look upon.
The road northwards (to Uttarakuru?) went
past this tree (Ibid.,184).
