VijayÄrÄma


A garden in AnurÄdhapura, through which the boundary of the MahÄvihÄra passed (Mbv. p. 136).

A monastery was built there (probably later), which came to be called the VijayÄrÄma-vihÄra. Once, an Arahant monk, teaching a meditation subject (kammaá¹­á¹­hÄna) to two monks, spoke of “samuddha†instead of “samudda.†One of the monks pointed out his error, and was sent by the Arahant to the MahÄvihÄra with a message that he had paid more attention to letters than to their meaning. The monk went to the MahÄvihÄra and later attained nibbÄna, after solving various difficult questions in the presence of the assembly. MA.ii.827.
