Thullakoṭṭhita

Place

拘楼国的一座城镇,是罗吒波罗的出生地,佛陀巡行拘楼国期间曾驻锡于此;此地因谷仓终年充盈而得名。

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.
