Thullakoṭṭhita

Place

Ein Städtchen im Land der Kuru, Geburtsort Raṭṭhapālas, wo der Buddha während einer Reise unter den Kuru weilte; sein Name leitet sich davon ab, dass seine Kornspeicher stets voll waren.

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.
