Ambasaṇḍā
Person王舍城以东的一座婆罗门村落,邻近韦地耶迦山的因陀娑罗窟,佛陀在此说《帝释所问经》时,帝释率众来访使全村沐浴于光辉之中。
A brahmin village in Magadha to the east of Rājagaha.
To the north of the village was the Vediyaka mountain, in which was the Indasālaguhā, where the Sakkapañha Sutta was taught. On the occasion of the teaching, as Sakka with his retinue came to visit the Buddha, the village was bathed in radiance (D.ii.263 f).
The name arose from the fact that the village lay in the vicinity of many mango groves. DA.iii.697.
