Veḷudvāra

Person

拘萨罗国的一个婆罗门村落,据说因村口有竹丛而得名,佛陀曾驻锡于此并宣说《竹门经》(Veḷudvāreyya Sutta)。

A brahmin village of the Kosalans where the Buddha once stayed and taught the Veḷudvāreyya Sutta (S.v.352).

Buddhaghosa says (SA.iii.217) that the place was so called owing to the tradition of the presence of a bamboo thicket at the entrance to the village.
