Person

Святилище маллов к востоку от Кусинары, где было кремировано тело Будды; по преданию, первоначально это был зал, где вожди маллов надевали украшения в праздничные дни

A “shrine” of the Mallā to the east of Kusinārā, where the Buddha’s body was cremated (D.ii.160-1).

Buddhaghosa explains that the Makuṭabandhana was a Hall in which the Malla chiefs put on their ornaments on festival days. It was called a cetiya because it was decorated (cittakatthena pan’esa cetiyaṃ).¹
