Puradeva


A god, evidently the tutelary deity of AnurÄdhapura.

There was a shrine erected to him within the precincts of the MahÄvihÄra. Near this shrine a battle took place between Duá¹­á¹­hagÄmaṇī and Bhalluka. Kandula considered it a lucky spot and led Duá¹­á¹­hagÄmaṇī’s forces up to it (Mhv.xxv. 87).

The shrine was to the north of the MahÄsusÄna. MT. 486.
