Person

A yakkha to whom a shrine at Bhoganagara was dedicated, later converted into a monastery where the Buddha stayed and taught.

A yakkha to whom a shrine, called the Ānanda Cetiya, was dedicated. The cetiya was in Bhoganagara and was later converted into a Buddhist vihāra (AA.ii.550). There the Buddha stayed during his last sojourn, and mention is made of a discourse he taught there to the monks on the Four Great Authorities (cattāro mahāpadesā) (D.ii.123-6; A.ii.167). From there he went to Pāvā.
