Kakudha5

Place

Ein kleiner Teich in Mahāmeghavana zwischen dem Großen Thūpa und dem Thūpārāma, geweiht durch die Besuche der vier Buddhas dieses Weltzeitalters und später von König Lañjatissa aufgefüllt.

A little pond in Mahāmeghavana between the site of the Mahā Thūpa and the Thūpārāma. The Mahā Thūpa was at the upper end of the pond, and the spot had been consecrated by the visit of the four Buddhas of the present world-cycle (Mhv.xv.53 ff). Lañjatissa appears to have filled up the pond at great expense, the land around having become waterlogged (Mhv.xxxiii.23 f; MT.611). The bund (Pāḷi) of the pond formed part of the boundary (sīmā) at Anurādhapura. Mbv.135 f.
