Paduma8

Place

एक कमल-आकार का मंदिर, जिसे महा-कच्चायन ने पूर्वजन्म में बुद्ध पदुमुत्तर के सम्मान में बनवाया

A cetiya built by Mahā-Kaccāna, in a previous birth, for Padumuttara Buddha (Ap.i.84). The Apadāna Commentary explains that the building was, in fact, a Gandhakuṭi, which was called a cetiya as a mark of respect (pūjanīyabhāvena), and that it was called Paduma because it was shaped like a lotus and was covered with lotuses.
