A wood in Ukkatthá. Once, when the Buddha was there, he visited the Avihá gods (D.ii.50) and, again, from there he visited Baka Brahmá, to whom he preached the Brahmanimantanika Sutta (M.i.326; but see S.i.142, where the Buddha is said to have been at Jetavana). It was under a sála tree in Subhagavana that the Múlapariyáya Sutta was preached (M.i.1; also the Játakas, of the same name, J.ii.259).
The wood was so called because of its beauty. People often went there for pleasure, and, influenced by the romantic nature of the surroundings, would plan pleasant things, which would come to pass (MA.i.10).
