Place

Also known as Veḷukaṇḍa

Một thành phố ở Avanti, quê hương của Nanda Kumāputta, nơi Mahā-Moggallāna và Xá-lợi-phất từng được Nandamātā tiếp đãi, được cho là lấy tên từ những bụi tre rậm rạp trồng quanh thành lũy.

v.l. Veḷukaṇḍa.– A city in Avanti, birthplace of Nanda Kumāputta (ThagA.i.100).

Mahā-Moggallāna and Sāriputta visited the place in the course of a journey in Dakkhiṇāgiri and were entertained by Nandamātā (A.iv.62 f). See Veḷukaṇḍakī.

Buddhaghosa says (AA.ii.717; SNA.i.370) that the city was so called because bamboos were thickly planted for protection round the walls and fortifications.
