A mountain in Rohana; near it was the village of Kitti (Mhv.xxiii.55). There was a monastery on Kotapabbatta called the Kotapabbata-vihára. This was the residence of the Sámanera who was afterwards born as Dutthagámaní (Mhv.xxii.25); also of Mahá-Summa Thera (Mhv.xxiii.61), of Asubhakammika-Tissa and of his teacher Mahá-Tissa (MT.553). The Vihára was near Mahágáma (MT.553).
The Visuddhi Magga (p.292) mentions an Elder, Tissa, of Kota (Koti) pabbata, who, having attained arahantship through meditation on breathing, was able to limit the term of his life. According to the Dhammapada Commentary (iv.50), an Elder named Anula lived in the monastery during the time of Dutthagámaní, and the village Bhokkanta, residence of Sumaná, wife of Lakuntaka Atimbara, was in its vicinity. It was probably the same as Gotapabbata (q.v.) (See Mhv.xxxv.124; MT.667). The Nágalena was in the Kotapabbata-vihára (DA.ii.695).
