A tank in Anurádhapura, north of the royal palace, in the time of Devánampiyatissa.

When Mahinda scattered flowers on it the earth trembled, and Mahinda prophesied that it would become the Jantághara-pokkhoraní situated to the east of the gateway of the Kálapásána-parivena.

It had disappeared by the time the Mahávamsa Tíká was written (MT.344f).

The símá of the Mahávihára passed through the tank. Mbv.135, 136.
