Thullakoṭṭhita

Place

कुरु देश का एक कस्बा, राष्ट्रपाल का जन्मस्थान, जहाँ बुद्ध कुरु देश की यात्रा के दौरान ठहरे थे; इसका नाम इसके अन्न-भंडारों के सदैव भरे रहने से पड़ा।

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.
