Rājāyatanadhātu

Place

아마도 나가디파에 있었을 사당으로, 제타와나에서 스리랑카로 옮겨왔다고 전해지는 나무와 관련이 있으며, 붓다의 모든 사리가 마지막으로 보리수 아래 모이기 전 섬 안에서 마지막으로 머무를 곳이 될 것이라 예언되었다.

Probably identical with Rājāyatana-cetiya in Nāgadīpa. Aggabodhi II built for it the Unnalomaghara-vihārā (C.xlii.62).

The cetiya was perhaps erected in honour of the Rājāyatana tree, which was brought by Samiddhisumana from Jetavana when he came with the Buddha to Sri Lanka (See Mhv.i.52, 57 f).

It is said (DA.iii.899) that when the Buddha’s religion disappears, all the relics of the Buddha in Sri Lanka will gather together at the Mahācetiya, proceed from there to the Rājāyatana-cetiya in Nāgadīpa, and from there, finally, to the Bodhi tree.
