Sattamba, Sattambaka
A shrine near VesÄli. (D.ii.102; Ud.vi.1; S.v.259; A.iv.309, etc.). It was so called because, in the past, seven princesses, daughters of Kiki, king of Benares, left RÄjagaha and fought for attainment at that spot. It was originally dedicated to some deity, but after the Buddha’s visit to VesÄli, it became a place of residence for him (UdA.323, etc.). It was to the west of VesÄli. D.iii.9.
