A monastery or a village where lived the thera Phussadeva, mentioned in the scholiast to the Hatthipála Játaka (J.iv.490) and in the Múgapakkha Játaka (J.vi.30; see also Vsm.i.228). Perhaps this residence was identical with the Katandhakára mentioned in the Cúlavamsa (Cv.xlv.3). Kassapa II. paid much respect to an Elder of unknown name who lived there. It is said that the king had the sacred texts written down with a short summary in honour of this Elder. Geiger thinks (Cv. Trs.i.89, n.4) that the Padhánaghara called Mahallarája, which had been erected by Aggabodhi III., brother of Kassapa II., in company with the Yuvarája Mána, was attached to the Katandhakára monastery.
