Place

කුරු දේශයේ නගරයකි, රට්ඨපාල උපන් ස්ථානය; බුදුන් වහන්සේ කුරු දේශය සංචාරය කරන අවස්ථාවේ මෙහි වැඩ සිටියහ; එහි ධාන්‍යාගාර නිතරම පිරී පැවති නිසා මෙම නම ලැබුණි.

A township in the Kuru country. It was the birthplace of Raṭṭhapāla, and it was there that the Buddha stayed during a tour among the Kurū (M.ii.54; ThagA.ii.30; AA.i.144). It received its name from the fact of its granaries being always full (thullakoṭṭhaṃ, paripuṇṇakoṭṭhāgāraṃ). It had plenteous crops. MA.ii.722; also Avadāna S.ii.118.
