A country near Magadha. When the Bulis of Allakappa heard of the Buddha’s death, they sent messengers to the Mallā asking for a portion of the relics, claiming that they too, like the Buddha, were warriors (khattiya). Having obtained them, they later built a thūpa over them (D.ii.166-7; Bv.xxviii.2).

Allakappa seems to have had a republican form of government, but its importance was not very great. According to the Dhammapada Commentary (DhA.i.161), Allakappa was ten leagues in extent and its king was on intimate terms of friendship with the King of Veṭhadīpa. They spent a great deal of their time together, so that the two countries must have been near each other.
