MÄtuvihÄra
1. MÄtuvihÄra. A vihÄra built by King SaddhÄtissa. Mhv.xxxiii.9.
2. MÄtuvihÄra. A vihÄra built by the mother of GajabÄhuka gÄmaṇī, on the spot where, in a thicket of flowering kadambas, she had met an ascetic rising from a trance of seven days and had given him food which she was taking to her father the brick worker. As a result of this gift she became the queen of Vaá¹…kanÄsikatissa. Later she bought the piece of land for one thousand and built there the vihÄra. GajabÄhukagÄmanÄ« built a stone thÅ«pa connected with it and gave lands to the monks of the vihÄra (Mhv.xxxiii.104ff., 115ff). The full name of this vihÄra seems to have been RÄjamÄtu vihÄra (q.v.) MT. 656.
