Maghādeva-ambavana

Place

A mango grove in Mithilā where King Maghādeva meditated after retiring from household life, still existing in the Buddha’s day, where the Buddha and Ānanda once stayed and the Buddha taught the Maghādeva Sutta.

A mango grove in Mithilā where Maghādeva lived in meditation after retiring from household life (J.i.138 f; vi. 95).

This grove existed even in the time of the Buddha, and during his stay there with Ānanda he taught the Maghādeva Sutta (M.ii.74).

Buddhaghosa explains (MA.ii.732; see also Mtu.iii.450) that the garden was originally planned by Maghādeva, and that other kings, from time to time, replaced trees that had died.
