Mallikārāma


A pleasance in Sāvatthi belonging to Queen Mallikā.

It is described as ā€œSamayappavādakatindukācÄ«ra — (v.l. tindukākhÄ«ra)- ekasalaka.ā€ D.i.178; M.ii.22, etc.; Sp.i.107, etc.

The Commentary (MA.ii.710; cf. DA.ii.365) says it was called Samyappavādaka because teachers holding various views used to gather there and discourse on their doctrines. It was surrounded by tindukakhÄ«ra (timbaru) trees, hence tindukācÄ«ra (sic); at first it possessed only one hall, but later many were erected through the good fortune of Poį¹­į¹­hapāda — hence its epithet Ekasālāka.
