A village in the Cetiya country near Bhaddavatiká. When the Buddha was on tour near there he was repeatedly warned by the cowherds not to go to Ambatittha as in the Jatila's hermitage in the village dwelt a mighty Nága. While the Buddha was yet in Bhaddavatiká the Elder Ságata went to the Jatila's hermitage and took up his abode near the fireplace. The Nága showed his resentment, but Ságata was able to overcome him by means of his iddhi-powers. Later Ságata visited the Buddha at Bhaddavatiká and went with him to Kosambí. The fame of the Elder's victory over the Nága had preceded him and the inhabitants of Kosambí were lavish in their hospitality to him. He drank wine in their houses and had to be carried to see the Buddha. The latter made this the occasion for declaring the drinking of intoxicants to be a pácittiya-offence. Vin.iv.108-10; AA.i.178.
