Sattamba
PersonAlso known as Sattambaka
वेसाली के पश्चिम में स्थित एक तीर्थ, जिसके बारे में कहा जाता है कि इसका नाम बाराणसी के राजा किकि की सात राजकुमारियों से पड़ा, जिन्होंने वहाँ कभी आध्यात्मिक उपलब्धि के लिए प्रतिस्पर्धा की थी; मूलतः एक देवता को समर्पित, यह बुद्ध की वेसाली यात्रा के बाद उनका निवास स्थान बन गया।
A shrine near Vesāli. (D.ii.102; Ud.vi.1; S.v.259; A.iv.309, etc.). It was so called because, in the past, seven princesses, daughters of Kiki, king of Bārāṇasī, left Rājagaha and fought for attainment at that spot. It was originally dedicated to some deity, but after the Buddha’s visit to Vesāli, it became a place of residence for him (UdA.323, etc.) It was to the west of Vesāli. D.iii.9.
