Sāmagāma.– A Sakyan village where the Sāmagāma Sutta (below) was taught (M.ii.243). There was a lotus pond in the village (A.iii.309).

The Vedhaññā probably lived there, because, according to the Pāsādika Sutta (D.iii.117), the Buddha was in the mango grove of the Vedhañña Sākyā when the news, as given in the Sāmagāma Sutta, of Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta’s death, was brought to him.

According to Buddhaghosa (MA.ii.829) the village was called Sāmagāma, “Sāmakānaṃ ussanattā.”
