ဆင်းရဲသော မိန်းကလေးဘဝတွင် နတ်ရှင်တစ်ပါးအား အစားအစာလှူဒါန်းခဲ့ပြီး ထိုအားဖြင့် မိဖုရားအဖြစ်သို့ ရောက်ရှိခဲ့သော နေရာတွင် ဂဇ္ဇာဘူကဂါမဏီမင်း၏ မယ်တော်က တည်ဆောက်ခဲ့သော သီရိလင်္ကာရှိ ကျောင်းတော်တစ်ခု။

A vihāra built by the mother of Gajjabāhukagāmaṇi, on the spot where, in a thicket of flowering kadamba trees (Nauclea cordifolia), she had met an ascetic rising from a trance of seven days and had given him some food, which she was taking to her father the brick-worker. As a result of this gift she became the queen of Vaṅkanāsika Tissa. Later she bought the piece of land for one thousand and built there the vihāra. Gajjabāhukagāmaṇi built a stone thūpa connected with it and gave lands to the monks of the vihāra (Mhv.xxxiii.104 ff., 115 ff). The full name of this vihāra seems to have been Rājamātu-vihāra (q.v.) MT. 656.
