Mallikārāma
Person사왓티에 있는 말리카 왕비 소유의 유원지로, 여러 학설을 가진 스승들이 모여 교리를 논쟁하곤 했던 곳이라 하여 이런 이름이 붙었다.
A pleasance in Sāvatthi belonging to Queen Mallikā.
It is described as “Samayappavādakatindukācīra- (v.l. tindukākhīra- ekasalaka).” D.i.178; M.ii.22, etc; Sp.i.107, etc.
The Commentary (MA.ii.710; cf. DA.ii.365) says it was called Samyappavādaka because teachers holding various views used to gather there and discourse on their doctrines. It was surrounded by tindukakhīra (timbaru) trees, hence tindukācīra (sic); at first it possessed only one hall, but later many were erected through the good fortune of Poṭṭhapāda — hence its epithet Ekasālāka.
