1. Ambagáma.-A village in Ceylon near Pulatthipura identified with the modern Ambagamuva. A battle was fought there between the forces of Gajabáhu and Parakkamabáhu I. (Cv.lxx.321) Parakkamabáhu II. built a bridge, thirty-four cubits in length, over the Khajjotanadí at Ambagáma. Ibid., lxxxvi.23.
2. Ambagáma.-One of the villages near Vesáli visited by the Buddha on his last tour (D.ii.123). It was between Bhandagáma and Bhoganagara, on the road from Vesáli to Kusinára. This was evidently the road which led from Vesáli northwards to the Malla Country, for other villages in the vicinity of Ambagáma were Hatthigáma and Jambugáma.
It is noteworthy that Anupiya, although in the Malla country, is not mentioned in the list of these villages. Thomas (Op. cit., 148, n.1) thinks that this is because the route to Kusinára passed to the east of Anupiya.
