Vaḍḍhamāna3
Place훗날 왕이 될 두타가마니가 태어난 직후 수장으로 임명된 마하가마의 도시로, 사악한 비구에게 시주를 잘못한 사냥꾼 이야기의 배경이기도 하다.
A city (nagara) in Mahāgāma, over which Gāmaṇi-Abhaya (afterwards Duṭṭhagāmaṇī) was appointed chief soon after his birth (MT. 443).
A story is related (AA.ii.522) of a hunter of Vaḍḍhamāna who, in the name of his dead kinsman, gave alms to a wicked monk. Three times he did this, until the spirit of the hungry ghost (peta) cried out against it. He then gave alms to a good monk. The ghost benefited by his gift.
